Nelson29,

The best thing for any serious dismantling is the BMW TIS CD's. Do a search on eBay, they are cheap enough and are a good backup for common sense! Don't be put off by BMW's plethora of special tools, you can often get by without.

I've just done a trim swap, from silver to light poplar and it's easy enough to do, and no special tools required.

Hopefully after the weekend (when I get then time) I will do a write-up on removing/refitting the door panels, as this is an operation that a lot of people seem to want to do (to replace trims) but are too concerned about airbags etc. When I did the job, I was full of good intentions of taking pictures, but the good old British weather stepped in so I had to do the job in the garage and the flash on my camera is not good!

Good luck with the Nav.

All the instructions you're looking for are available right here on these forums...

Door panel removal:
http://forums.e60.net/index.php?s=&sho...ost&p=23054

Information on central display (including a step for removal):
http://forums.e60.net/index.php?s=&sho...st&p=103940

Removing the entire dash is prettty complex -- are you sure you need to do that to do the TV module? The information is scattered all over the forums -- usually in reference to people changing trims...

Good luck!
