Title states it all. Searched and found one but he didn't really post anything he just said he figured it out and that was it and never updated with how to actually do it

So anyone got pics for me? Or a detailed written DIY? I'm a picture kind of person lol..

You have to remove the home link panel and the light lens panel. Take the 4 screws out to loser it so you can reach under the front portion. There is a plug on the left side. I think orange that you need to undo. Once that's done pop the cover closest to the home link panel against the windshield at the top of the rearview assembly and then remove the single torx bolt from underneath. That's it. If you want to open the rearview assembly take a small screwdriver and just separate the front trim and rear section. A few cops hold it together. But it comes apart easily. Be careful to pay attention to the auto dim buttons location. It'll probably fall out
