Ok, so the wife bought me for Father;s day a Dension GW500 and I spent four hours last night trying to install. The car is in pieces and I have managed to make a mistake I can't figure out how to resolve.
Mistake: I connected wrong fiber light path into fiber splice adapter (see pic) and can not figure out how to release the end. "lock is released but "end" won't come out!
Challange:
My trunk layout is all odd..( See pics) and I can not figure out how to:
#1 remove trunk liner
#2 Remove plastic case surrounding cd changer so I can gain access to cables behind changer.
Help, please!

Ok, so with some help from Eric at Bumper Plugs and "tinkering" I got it sorted out and thought I'd pass on the info.
1st off I have an 07' 997 AWD (C4S) with Bose, Nav & Changer so configuration is different for this model (note layout in pics).
1) Fiber splice connector removal:
* Remove COMPLETELY the rectangular top "locking" cap.
* use small head screw driver to lift retaining clamp
* Loosely pull fiber end out
* Repeat for other end (if necessary)
2a) AMP (BOSE), NAV Cowl Removal (start here 1st as you'll need space to remove Cowl for changer)
* Grip at bottom both ends and pull straight up!
2b) CD Changer Cowl Removal:
* Wedge finger tips on both ends (top & bottom / North/south ends as oriented in pic).
* slightly pull outward then up to remove
Hope this is of value to someone one day!
Cheers!

Now can't get the CDC cover off. Out then up? I can't get it to budge.
