How do I remove the Overhead Console in a 2009 Genesis Sedan

[molson32]

My BlueConnect is no longer working and is out of warranty. Appearently the warranty on this is only 36k miles. I want to take a look at it before I get it replaced.
Does anyone have instructions on how to remove the overhead console?
Also, do I really need to disconnect the battery before I play with this?

Your assistance is appreciated.

open the sunglass holder and there are 2 phillips screws on the top. undo those and it will drop down. disconnect the plugs for the sunroof and other electronics and it will come free. no you do not need to disconnect the battery. ive taken this thing out so many times as well as many other electric components in the car without even turning the car off and everything is fine. also, disconnecting the battery resets the clock and all my preset channels so its very annoying

Thanks for the response. But the 2009 genesis doesnt have a sunglasses holder. It has the Bluetooth interface in that spot.
Anyone else???

Some 2009 trim levels have the Bluetooth built into the audio system and therefore have a sunglass holder where your Bluetooth is located.

Check the www.hmaservice.com website. Registration is free and they usually have instructions for servicing parts.

I did check out the HMAService site I saw a bulletin on how to remove the console that has the sunglass holder. I didn't see one that explained how to remove a unit with built in Blueconnect.

Anyone else ever do this?
