Access overhead console?

AGS · 10-07-2018, 09:17 AM

My M5 has the carbon fiber roof (did not opt for the moon roof). I'm trying to hard wire my radar detector. How do you access the overhead console? I tried pulling it down but the roof liner seemed to flex with the console so I didn't want to pull too hard. Any help would be appreciated!

The cover on the mirror closest to the headliner slides backwards towards the roof and then tilts down and out. I use the term "slides" very loosely, because it requires a lot of force to move it. You can see that there is an area where the cover can slide towards.
