Owners manual

1. Using the 30 Torx, remove the bolts from the
top side of fascia. Remove the three metric
bolts from the bottom side of fascia with the
10MM socket.
Vehicle Weight:
Motorhome mount tow bars are recommended for
use with this baseplate. Due to the design of the
removable tabs, the RangeFinderII, Adventurer,
and Ambassador tow bars can not be used. The
Acclaim tow bar may be used, but will not fold and
store on the front of the vehicle. Adapters, except
the BX8833 and BX88151, can not be used with
this baseplate.
Installation Notes: The front fascia is
removed for baseplate installation. There are
no holes to drill. Some models will need to
have the mesh in lower grill opening trimmed
to allow baseplate to come through.
The dimensional variations between otherwise
identical vehicles can be considerable.
While the baseplate was designed for easy
installation, it may be necessary to tailor the
baseplate slightly to compensate for auto
manufacturer’s tolerances. These minor
adjustments may include fi ling a hole slightly,
bending electrical rods and/ or bending end
plates.
The BX8869 Bulb and Socket Wiring Kit is
recommended for the 2002-06 BMW Mini
