How to remove overhead console

[F4Gary]

I want to put my Valentine One up at the top of the windshield to the left of the mirror, and I need to get to a power source inside the overhead console. How do you get the console down? For that matter, how do you replace a map light bulb in there? I assume the console has to come down. Probably just clipped up there but I hate to pull on it and break something.

It has 2 screws and clips. Give me like 30 minutes and can post how to. Currently driving lol

This guy's video is known on the forum for adding Homelink. He shows how to remove the console.

Hope that video helps. Also, your profile says LTZ. If you have an auto dim rear view mirror, there should be a run/crank Voltage circuit in the 10 pin mirror connector. If you unplug this connector, it should be an almost fully loaded connector. Pin 2 is a Violet/Light Green Stripe. This is run/crank Voltage.

Thanks! Sure wish everything didn't have those easily breakable clips.

Pretty sure I just opened the sunglass holder and reached up and pulled down on the rest of the console. It pops right out without any screws from what I remember!

 

Here is how I did my V1 in that same area. http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/188633-hardwire-radar-detector-in-2016-sierra/
