Can someone check this for me?

yahtzee · 04-20-2008, 04:56 PM

I have almost wrapped up all of my initial mods for my new M3 (see sig). The one thing that I really need done before tomorrow morning is the hardwiring of my BEL STi radar detector. I cant for the life of me get the plastic panels to unsnap from around the sunroof area. I got the frosted white plastic piece off but that has me no closer to getting to actual wires. Has anyone hardwired the M3 with a radar detector? I did it on my 535i and it was really a piece of cake to snap it off.....can someone check it out and let me know if they can get it off and if so, how?

Push the mirror out of the way, stick your hands in there and push the clips in to drop the console down.

Do you lose the cigarette lighter with the sunglass holder mod?

Wow, that link should be made a sticky in one of the subsections of the forum.

Thanks!

I hardwired my V-1 today in about 5 minutes through the fuse box. It's so much easier. All you have to purchase is a fuse tap which costs 25 cents. It's very simple.
