One other addendum. On the 06 X5 the wire to tap going to the garage door opener is the fat green with brown stripe.

I used a 1 1/2 inch spackle knife to pop the lights & garage door opener out.

Tapping it shouldn't effect the garage opener. BUT we are not using ours so I can't verify mine.

Mike Valentine's suggestions can be found on his website. In short: mount HIGH! that includes radar and laser peformance.
