Schritt 9

Rotate the iHome iP1 so that the speakers are now facing you.
Remove both of the speaker covers by pulling them off of the faceplate.

Schritt 10

Unscrew the twelve 14.5 mm Phillips #2 screws holding the faceplate to the speaker housing. (There are six screws connecting the faceplate to each speaker.)
Completing this step will loosen the faceplate enough to pull the bundle of cables attached to the 30-pin connector through a hole in the faceplate, allowing the 30-pin connector to be removed from the iHome.

Schritt 11

Detach the 30-pin connector from the dock housing by pushing it through the slot which it sticks out of.
Sometimes the 30-pin connector can get stuck in the dock housing, making it difficult to push through. To prevent this, push each side of the 30-pin connector evenly. This step can be accomplished without the use of any additional tools.
The command buttons have been shown as removed to show how to detach the 30-pin connector. However, it is not necessary to remove the command buttons in order to remove the 30-pin connector.

Schritt 12

Remove the 30-pin connector from the iHome by pulling the bundle of cables attached to it through the center hole in the faceplate.
You may have to wiggle the faceplate to be able to pull the bundle of cables through its center hole.
