2018 K1600GTL - Front DIN Power Outlet

Hi Guys:

I'd like to replace my front rightside BMW DIN outlet with a dual USB outlet. This one from Touratech ( https://touratech-usa.com/store/Plug-Play-Dual-USB-Power-Outlet-BMW-Motorcycles ) appears to be drop in replacement. I replaced the one on my 2019 F850GS and it's perfect. I'm told the 2018 K1600 outlet is the same as the 2019 F850 outlet.

That said, I started to remove screws and try to remove the upper right fairing panel that holds the outlet. Knowing how things go, I probably stopped one screw short of success. But after a bit and several attachment points, it didn't seem like I was loosening things up in order to get to the outlet.

Anyone ever pulled that panel or got access to the underneath of the outlet?

Thanks for any insight..........

Could be this - There is a small "push pin plug" under the back side of the movable air scoop that is only visible when the scoop is opened. Push the center pin in with a small probe and then pry out the plug. Plug is reusable without the center lock pin or you can buy them at your dealer.
