Guys need your help... sounds silly, but helping a mate of mine to hard wire a radar to the R8's center rear view mirror but not 100% certain how to remove the covers on the back of the mirror. i've done the hard wire on my 997.2 pretty easily, but the center console comes off easily w/ 2 screws....

needless to say (b/c this is not my car) i dont want to "just pull/pry" the casing w/o knowing how it disassembles. anyone with experience or better, pictures? thanks in advance!

 

no one?

 

versions. Removing– Pry the cover -1- out on top of the mirror base -arrows-. – Remove the electrical connector from its retainer.– Disconnect electrical harness connector -2-.– Turn the interior rearview mirror counterclockwise -arrow- on the mirror base -1- as far as the stop.– Remove the interior rearview mirror from the retaining plate.InstallationInstallation is reverse of removal, but note the following:– Position the interior rearview mirror turned 30° from its installation position.– Then turn the interior rearview mirror clockwise as far as the stop.

 

I hardwired mine by plugging it directly to the fuse box on the passenger side and tugged the wire into the Apillar.

 

i guess the pictures arent showing up anymore, they were yesterday. let me know if you cant figure it out from the instructions and ill try to get the pictures to work.

 

thanks guys for the info... have considered the fuse box option as a second resort..

AUDIous - would really appreciate it if you could get the pics working again.. just a piece of mind that i'm doing it right.. again just dont want to mess up my friends new car!

thanks in advance!
