F23 backseat removal
Ran into a problem - trunk locked when I was installing rearview camera........
F23 owners only please - how do you remove the seatback? I have undone the 2 bolts on each side, but there is a center latch in the middle of the seat that I cannot figure out or find info online for it. Not the same as the 1 series either Any help appreciated!! F22 owners - there is no passthrough or fold option on the F23 edit: It's a folding back seat - single panel, but release is in the trunk. Thanks BMW Last edited by alanmc_21; 04-06-2024 at 11:47 AM.. |

I hope you don't think I'm still locked out LOL
Ended up using one of the camera scope tools with a hook attachment, went in through the trunk handle (popped it from the outside since I was replacing it anyway with a backup cam unit) and was able to pull the back seat release handle.....was not a lot of fun....had a harness unplugged when the trunk closed on me |

same but a little different
SO, I just had a similar thing happen... I bought an endoscope... how the hell did you get it through to get to the trunk release? Did you already have the camera out and there was a hole? I can't get into my trunk (I think blown fuse) so nothing will open it and I can't take the rear seat out and get access either.
