Before I pull up carpet @ remove seats....

I'm getting ready to install an Alpine PDX amp under the passenger seat and run all the wires to a sub in the boot.

Never dealt with this before and don't want to cause any permanent damage. If someone knows a link about pulling out moldings and carpet, please point.

I know that I need to disconnect the battery first, and found a link about removing the back seats.... which seems manageable. However, those clips that hold all the plastic together scare me. It seems like I am using enough pressure to do damage before they pop off. Thanks

Pulling them off is a tough and you think you are breaking something and you may break some. I would recommend that you get some or order some before putting the panels back on.

Other than that there are a few threads that go into removal of the seats and rear panels on the R56 and the R55. just not sure where they are at this time.

Be sure you disconnect the battery before removing the seats. There is a connector under that seats that connects the airbags. If you disconnect it with the battery connected, it will cause an airbag error in the computer that only the dealer can clear.
