It is not as easy as some describe here, and it took much more time than I planned. Getting the panel down was tough until I found the clips to release. The ground situation was impossible and so I ended up drilling a hole and using a sheet metal screw. The green and white wire worked and I have no interference with the sun roof. Running the concealed display cable was a major pain as the headliner along the windshield is REALLY tight (German engineering...)

Still, it looks good -- I have it mounted on the drivers side of the rearview mirror. A bit of a problem when the visor goes down as it obscures about 20% of the rear sensor. I hope it is not a huge problem.

Happy to answer any questions about how it all went. I will be happy to suggest a tools list in order to have the next DIYer avoid the 24 trips I made from garage to basement.
