what box? you don't open the box...
the top little plastic, you have to pull it down and it will pop out.

Thanks Nika.. How did you remove the top little plastic? Pull what down? I thought the top of that thing is a lever but I tried very hard to pull it down it doesn't seems to work...

Many thanks...

Nika

you press it on the top, there is a holder if you look at it, while you have that pressed, it will just come down like lever... be gentle, it will brake, nothing there is made that needs force, just needs right approach. have fun

Thanks Nika...

I will try that when I open it up again. Getting really tired fixing back the glove compartment

Anyone have experience doing this with an LCI vehicle? Have a 2009 528i xDrive that I was considering doing this on...

LCI wiring info is in the very first post and more within the thread.

Hi Balb,

I'm doing it on a LCI model too and if you go to page 42 within this thread, you can find more info with pictures on how to install this and where to get the cables (if you are based in UK).

what about US cars? Do you think it is close to instructions on page 42?

Hi Balb,

I am very new in the BMW World so I won't be able to ascertain that But I guess as long as it's the same generation (LCI) it shouldn't differ much except that in the US the glove box is on the wrong/ i mean right side of the car

Have fun! I'm opening up the glove box again this weekend and try installing the hidden mode.

Just curious, has anyone tried this on a car with either the Cobb Access Port or Burger Jb4 installed?

Seems to me there might be some ECU programming conflicts.
