It is the only 2 that I was able to find. There are a few more torx screws, but couldn't get a ground from them because they didn't seem to screw into the upper frame.

Also becareful of the headliner while trying to push in the tabs for the overhead console, it can get damaged and dirty real quick :mad:
Either put a piece of cloth down between your tool and the headliner or clean your instrument meticulously. Also washing your hands would help

One more thing, I used some double sided 3M exterior strips to mount the V1 control module to the black plastic beam and roof frame to avoid any additional rattles. The rest of the wires were zip tied and tucked neatly into the space just to the right (passenger side) of the overhead console.

Now I wish I had taken those pictures, but it is very easy once you know which wire to tap into and get the ground working.
