Excellent, keep me posted. If there aren't any preinstalled wires, would you have to pull out the entire centre console to put them there?

OK, I ran a single red hot wire back to the battery and fused it.
I had to swap the bad autozone type 48 DL for a new type 49 DL anyway.

To do so (and also because I wanted to pull the entire alarm, mike, led, wiring, rear console piece etc in one piece for possible sale) I had to remove the screws for the rear of the console so I could lift it a bit. I also had to remove the backseat (of course) and the sills so I could fold the carpet back a bit.
Then a ground connected to the bracket itself, and done. I still need to run the illumination lead for it, but that I can do later.
IF I didn't haveto take out the alarm, I could have been done in 30 minutes.

I would think they would be prewired for the lighter in the rear console(esp yours Yio...ahhh loonie ).....I ussually charge my phone from the rear one,it sits quite nicely in the recess at the rear of the console.I have thought of trying to put a drink holder there.I dont have any holder my console is "empty"
Doesnt the M5 have a shifter surround that has a recess?

I would have thought so too. I found the harness and OEM element on real OEM. OUCH.

I did it for about $30 bucks all told.
Lighter itself about $8, plate about $9. I was almost out of everything, so the other 13 is for tax and for parts like heat shrink, connectors, fuses, and wire.
