Ive found all the torx screws around the edge but can get the card off. seems like the door handle on the passenger side is meant to split but didn't want to damage it. so does it split? and is it similar to the drivers side?

cheers

yes the door handle does split, gently prise it apart to reveal 2 phillips screws holding the handle to the door;)

You need to pop the tweeter off too as it gets in the way - just pull it away from the door.

Seperating the handle is a pain. I got a long flat butter knife in under the cap - it is clipped onto the door card handle in two places. Get the bottom one off, and it will come easily enough.

Don't forget to disconnect the cables to the door card light before trying to walk away with the card!

Are you still trying to do this? Just made a guide for the rear door:

The fronts are similar except there's the extra connection for the courtesy light, and the drivers door has the LED by the lock button

yeah did it all today there now deadened and with my SPX 177r's in now just need to sort amps out and H701 then all will be up and running.
