Dome Assembly (Hard Wire)
#22
You're welcome, it wasn't quite as bad as I thought it was going to be.
All I did was take a semi thick flat head screwdriver, wrap the head in
electric tape a few times (any tape will do) this is just to protect the
plastic. Go in the middle front of the dome assembly (end closest to
you) stick the screwdriver between the "cloth" covered card board
and the dome assembly and pry down gently until you hear the clips
snap. Then do the same on the left side of the dome and the right side,
note: on the sides you're better off prying from the left and right sides
of the side of the dome assembly, if that makes sense. You should be
able to pop the assembly off now, although be careful because there
are wiring harnesses attached to the assembly.
Note: you can push the hardwire between the cloth in the windshield as
an exit point, makes it look neater.
Also make sure you really secure the box (if you're using a V1 power kit)
to something, as I only used the included velcro and mine came loose after
a while, and on the highway it vibrated up a storm.
This is what it looked like after, (I have really shaky hands so the photo quality is bad)

Hey just wanted to say thanks for this post! I had no idea which wire to tap on my girlfriends new 2014 tC. I just installed the Passport 8500 and it was the turquoise wire right above the thick pink wire. Thanks again! Works great!
