I sent a message vi messenger that's linked on their site. They responded asking me to send a separate message through WhatsApp with the information. Seemed very strange to me. Ignored after that. Why would they do that. If spamming, does WhatsApp give them information messenger doesn't? I can't say for sure that these people are crooks, but people should use caution IMO. |

You can get them for $600 shipped, I finished the front door on the driver side, it was not bad, it should not take more than an hour, with instructions it can be done much faster.
This is what it looks like after having the cover in place. I have labeled in red the OEM glued "rivets" that I used a drill to remove, it is a very efficient approach. In blue, you have the screws you have to remove and there is another screw not in the picture you have to remove as well. In green, I have labeled the connector you have to disconnect and connect to one of the included Y-shaped cables, that cable will be used for your tweeter and also to connect to another Y-shaped cable. The second daisy chained Y-shaped cable will connect to the speaker and to the connector that was originally disconnected in green in the picture. Also covered the B&W logo with Focal Inside. I am looking for 3 more Focal Inside metal stickers, let me know if you are willing to part with yours. Last edited by silverstar335; 10-31-2021 at 08:00 PM.. |

How are the frequencies separated on the X5 w/ HK? Does the amp or an OEM equalizer separate the Fred's. I have a pristine set of Focal 3way speakers that I'd like to install.

Can anyone confirm that the covers from aliexpress have the proper spelling of “Wilkins” on them? And not “wlikins”
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005...archweb201603_ @Mr.Pringle can you post a link to where you got them from? Actually, looking at some pictures posted here, it does say “wlikins”… wish they would just make it without the logo. Last edited by statop; 11-26-2021 at 12:06 PM.. |

I've also highlighted in purple what I think are the plastic rivets that require removal but could be wrong? Someone also mentioned that part of it is glued? I'm going to be having a go myself in the coming few weeks (providing my chuffing car finally turns up at the dealer) so any additional light you can shed on the install process would be appreciated. Edit: Photo removed

Someone mentioned that to get the lighting operable for the centre speaker that the dashboard trim needed to be removed, does anyone have a link or description on how to do this?

What I have highlighted in red are the locations where you would have to drill the plastic rivets out and replace them with the screws that come with the speaker covers. |

I'm hoping someone can help me with the install of the speaker covers, I'm not quite sure how much of the plastic rivet requires removing i.e. can you get away with drilling the middle or does it require something more drastic?
I've circled in white an example rivet so can anyone pass on some advice as to what size drill bit is needed or a suggestion on another tool or method? Any info on this process would really help as I'm concerned about making an expecnsive mistake! Thanks in advance.

So basically you unscrew about 6 screws and undo about 8 rivets and assembly will come off. Hope this helps p.s. don't be too afraid if you drill out extra rivet, not huge deal, just don't go too hard drilling

Question though, in this post, you mentioned that RED goes for the rivets which you drilled out, while BLUE are screws... Am I not seeing/looking at this correctly? It looks like the BLUE are indeed screws, what look like torx maybe...but the RED look like screws too, philips it appears... Am I wrong in my RED assumption? just curious if its my eyes that are going at this age or what LOL Unless, the torx like looking screws in BLUE are in fact the rivets that need to be drilled out? |
