Hey it WAS a success, it got me a great deal and save me a lot of Canadian Peso's in the process, and for that I thank you!

The T-Design module looks like it does the job, just a bit annoying that we even have to do this, the button should just stay where they were set last.

For those of you awaiting delivery of your cars, I believe that the car arrives at the selling dealer with the two center console side panels not in place. I am hoping that I can have them install the TDesign module, along with a Rennline magnetic phone mount, before they install those two side panels during their final PDI.

Interesting! I was going to say or better yet have them leave them off so you can see first hand how they mount so you will know for the future...

Rec'd my T-module last week...can someone post a photo of this "pssgr side metal piece" please. The spot to stick it...I would also like to verify the orientation of the module itself (i.e. wires toward front of car, toward rear of car, etc.).

Appreciated.

I've seen several videos of the side panels install - simply place the forward piece of the panel into the slot, rotate down a few degrees and snap the panel into place. Seems to be very straightforward.

It is... until you break the front clip that needs to come out just a bit further to clear! These panels are about $800/ea in leather, I try to refrain from repeated removals because the plastic is easy to break, IMHO watching a video is not the same as doing this yourself.

My suggestion was just to give someone that is a DIYer the opportunity to complete their own install of the module before putting the console back together.

Point well taken, Westcoast!

For reference here is the picture I marked up to remind me where the clips are on the side console panels for a 718/981...

I found you don't need to fully remove the side trim in order to reach the button panel in the center console ...

How? Do you just wedge trim tools vertically on each side to create a little space and the work a 3rd one in horizontally to pop it loose?
