Default Hard wiring radar detector into map light circuit?

Now that I've sold my E39 and will rely on the GX for my commute, I would like to hard wire my radar detector into the GX.

Doe anyone have any diagrams or pictures to show how the sunglasses holder/map light/home link assembly comes out? I think the map light circuit should provide enough juice. I want to wire it in such a way that I only have the tail of the plug coming out by the rear view mirror, and plugging directly into the detector.

I don't want to start prying on things until I know what holds the assembly in.

I have the wiring kit, I would like to know how the overhead console removes from the headliner before I tear something up.
