Has anybody tried to replace the B pillar phone speaker?? any instructions on how to get to it?? My speaker does not seems to work... not sure why... Any ideas?? The DB 25 shows a resistance of 500ohms!! do I need to turn on the radio bring it to mute just to get it to work?? Any information on this setup??

Thanks

per the Bentley (looked at this for the trunk/alarm buttons from a post the other day), you have to remove the upper B-pillar, which requires removal of the A- and D-pillar trim as well (there are two torx bolts hidden on the upper edge of the upper B-pillar trim).

Once the upper B-pillar trim is off, you have to remove the trim along the floor which is located under the lower B-pillar. That piece requires removal of the lower A-pillar trim.

Wow!! I think I will go ahead and use the kit speaker and hide it somewhere..

BD is right, big PITA, although I've managed to reach it w/o removing A & D pillar trims

I just finished reinstalling my b-pillar interior trim as I took it off to run some new speaker wire into the rear doors. Broke 1 tab on the lower b-pillar interior trim piece and and a beotch of a time getting the upper piece back in. Hindsight being 20/20, probably would've gone BD's route and removed the other trim as well. Had to do some serious bending of other trim around top of b-pillar. It is essntial to get those torx screws out. Once they are out, you have to manipulate the top of b-pillar trim to get it out from under surrounding trim. Big PITA!!!

Yep, I broke 1 tab too when reinstalling.
