Update: Ashtrap Mod
I needed to put the switch in the front to turn on and off the video on my NavTool Video module so I put it in the ash tray where the round cig thingy to put out cigs use to be. This was NOT my original idea. I saw a post on x5world, but I can't seem to find it anymore. Anyway, here is how I did it. I used a dremel round sander bit to make the round opening larger. Its 3/4 inch wide. I then used a small file to file the notch. I purchased a rocker switch on ebay for $4.50 each. I bought 2, just incase. I sodered a red and a black wire to the poles and shrink wrapped the black tubing to it. Then I ran the 9ft of wire I allocated to the switch and ran the wires along the side (under trim pieces) using the Dice IPOD kit install method. While I was at it, I ran the Invision TV Tuner antenna cable AND the Dice IPOD wire harness at the same time. Anyway, here are the pictures.













Im STILL waiting for a location to wire the Invision Headrest to.
I cant find a 12v switched power in the center console. No one knows?
