ro_explorer thanks for that, yes I have that.
I have been able to remove the gear lever surround (22) which allows me to feel under the console, lots of strengthening webs on the underside! I was able to remove the trim around the cup holder and the mat below (16 & 17) which got me nowhere. I could not figure how to remove ( 14) which I hoped would provide the access I was hoping for. Ideally I would like to remove the console top? (8) but cannot see how this is fixed.
I suspect I shall have to mark out the location for the switch, bite the bullet and drill from the top and fish the cables through from below. I do need to be careful of the yellow interlock on the gear lever!

 

I have not dismantled my center console yet (no reason to do that) so I do not know more than the diagrams found on the www. I'll do an exercise and see if it's a straight forward procedure and let you know.

 

I have had a bit poke around underneath the gear lever surround panel and do not believe there is enough room for the switch I am wanting to install.
So now I am thinking about the panel that holds the USB & cigarette lighter socket, but would prefer to pop this panel out first to check. Item 9 on this pic.

 

Where did you find this? I have been searching all around for that

 

I posted on the MINI PHEV Facebook page and some kind fellow advised me of this site which provides the info I want.
www.newtis.info

 

I got the panel off, drilled a hole for the switch, wired up the switch, I now have front parking sensors!

 

Op hasn't been around since 2020, so prob won't respond.

he diagram he posted is from realoem.If you go there and look up your vin, it will at least have a part number. Google it if it's NLA and you'll probably find someone on ebay selling them....

 

I found it i just needed to see the CIG port to get behind it. Thank YOU!
