DIY: Custom Radar Detector with Mute button

I tried the mirror mount but did not care for the setup. I wanted the mute button at easier reach while driving.
Link to DIY steps

Here are some completed photos. Check the link for the DIY it may help others taking center console apart and pulling the dash vents.

Wow quite the extensive diy

Thanks I did similar in my 08 135i
diy 135i

this time around was easier.even the center console removal was easier then the 135. It just makes it so much easier to mute then reaching up to the windshield. I don't even have to look just by feel.

Hey bud. Just wanted to tell you that the link to the DIY is broken. Clicking it takes you to a site indicating the domain itself is suspended due to "incomplete WhoIS verification" (whatever the hell that means LOL).

Can you update or post the DIY in the forum?

Thanks!
Jim

Yea sorry about that. I closed my website a couple years ago. Here is a PDF with the DIY.
