Did you use the MirrorTap? I am planning to install my redline too but need to find some tip how to remove the overhead console.

Yes I used the mirror tap. Its very easy to remove, you don't even need any tools. Go to the very front plastic (closet to the windshield) and pull down gently then work your way around.

I tapped into the rain sensor if you use the other you will have to manually turn it off when you shut the car off.

It came with a generic metal mount. I think I'm going to get a blend mount though

Its the pink one going to the sunroof motor. I originally tapped into the overhead console, but the detector was on even when the car was off
