Additional Power Source?
Can anyone please check to see if there is a power source (cigarette lighter plug) underneath the glove compartment right by the central console? I have that in my M4 and I use it to power the radar detector routing the power cable through the A pillar and headliner to the radar location by the rear view mirror.
I looked at a regular 5 Series at the dealer and there is a cavity in that area for the power source, but there was none installed. My guess is that it is an option that comes with one of the packages. Thanks in advance! Juan |

Still waiting for my car but I plan on using the uniden R3 (mirror tap) and combining it with waze on screen. Hopefully they'll come out with arrows on their units by then. Heard it's being worked on.

I just took delivery today. I dropped off my Escort 360c and the cord yesterday, hoping their service techs could wire it to the mirror. No luck; the CA said the service guy couldn't even figure how to take off the plastic housing behind the mirror. With BMW removing the passenger footwell 12V receptacle on the M5, that leaves scant options for powering a radar. I'm not particularly happy about that, but... I love this freakin' car!

There is a fuse box behind the glove box for accessories.... not sure why most people don't just run the line through there.... that is the safest way to do and wires are hidden behind pillars and headliners.... the fuse box diagram is actually located in the other fuse box in truck....
