Need instrunctions on removing overhead console

lnXcel · 10-19-2006, 03:22 PM

Basically I am currently in the process of installing the Bluetooth retrofit kit into my E90 and I am having a little problem removing the overhead console to install the microphone. Rather than risk breaking something I would appreciate any instructions that may be available for removing the console. I have a feeling that it probably just snaps in and out of place but I've used a decent amount of forces to no avail thus far. Thanks in advance for any info.

If eveything goes well, I'll be sure to post a DIY writeup on the retrofit process. So far this has been my only difficulty and I am pretty much done with the exception of going to the dealer and having it coded.

Check the DIY section for V1 Radar detector hardwire instructions. I believe that includes how you pop off the overhead console you are speaking about.

Those weren't my instructions, but it appears to just be a spatula.
