    Overhead interior light

    Hi All. I've been a member for a few months now but this is my first post.
    I have bought a 2012 TD4 and think it is just fantastic. i have replaced the original tyres with Cooper CS5 Grand Tourers which are possibly the quietest tyres I have ever had. Also replaced all of the interior lights with quality LEDs.
    Now the question. I have a Blackvue dash cam that comes with heaps of power cable and clips to run the cable around the window. i don't want to do that and possibly interfere with the airbags so intend to put a DC jack in the interior lighting console just near the rear view mirror. It doesn't come out easily and I don't want to force thing so does anybody have tips on how to remove the little console?

    regards to all.

    Hi Benzol,

    The lighting console is held in by plastic lugs on one side and metal clips on the other.
    I think the clips are to the front of the car but they might be on the rear side, it's been a while since I've had it out. I've built a tiny 12v to 5v converter behind the light to run my dash cam. It's a great source for powering a dash cam as in my MY13 FL2 the power is disconnected a few seconds after I lock the car.

    Cheers
