What are you guys trying to do? Remove the headrest?
Remove the back cover of the seat (this will vary depending on if you have heated/cooled seats or just standard seats), disconnect the harness, pull up headrest to full stop, reach up (from inside seat) and press in the plastic retainers, and the headrest will pop right off.
I have these installed on my Coupe seats, not hard at all but you do have to open up the seat back.

Trying to get the headrests metal "prongs" out 1/2 an inch.
Once you remove the seat back and disconnect the wiring connector, you will have to reach in and slide the plastic locking tab IN while lifting the headrest UP. Once that lock is pressed in the headrest will slide right out.

Well, $hit, trying to not take the whole back off... oof, thanks!

Can these be installed in a 14’ Q60s/G37s coupe equipped with Bose/Nav etc.? I found a pair for steal and am wondering what I would need to do in order to make the speakers work if possible.
Well ... if they even physically fit into your seat's headrest mounting holes you'd need to somehow run the wire down through the inside of the seatback. And then what? Your door speakers are already separately processed by the Bose amp so the woofer, "squawker" and tweeter all have separate speaker wires running from the amp. Which of those would you tap and would that upset the sound balance?
I'm sure there's some way to do the audio side of it (presuming they physically fit) but it may involve a separate amp and wire runs. Anything is possible but it doesn't seem like it would be a very easy mod.
I added them to my '08 Coupe about five (5) years ago.
They will physically fit except you will need to remove the center, hard plastic conduit. I used a dremel and carefully chipped the plastic away. Just be careful as the wires run up along that conduit.
If you do this mod, GET THE HARNESSES. It will make your life much easier. There is one harness for each seat that runs from the headrest to the floor. Then a second harness from the floor to the rear where the amp is.
I opted to tap into the two speakers on each side of the back seat. My original plan was to get a amp from a 'Vert as that has dedicated channels for the headrests, but time and time are against me. The sound output is very subtle- likely because of how I have them tapped. But the sound is there. Full disclosure, my hearing is next to shot so I have difficulty hearing sounds anyway and especially.moreso since I drive almost exclusively with the sunroof open. Still, for my needs, and the sake of "another mod" it suits me just fine.
