4. Once the panel is loose, disconnect any electrical connectors (e.g., power window switches, door lock) and door opening wires.

5.3. Original Speaker Removal and Wiring

Remove the factory speakers and prepare the wiring for the new speakers.

1. Remove the genuine speaker from its mounting location. Disconnect the speaker connector.
2. Remove the tapping grommets from the speaker opening. Keep them with the genuine speaker if you plan to reinstall it later.
3. Perform wiring processing for the network cable. Cut the network cable end with nippers if using electrotaps.
4. Attach electrotaps to the speaker wiring. Pay close attention to polarity (+/-) as confirmed using the genuine speaker.
5. Secure the plastic cover of the electrotap by folding it until the hook engages.
6. Repeat the wiring process for the other side.
