Fuse Box
I love GregoryK's posts on the fuse box.

I'm a fiddler.
In my manual it states on page 199 that the fuses are under the glove box and you remove 2 screws and the fuse box folds down. THIS IS INCORRECT! If you undo the 2 screws you will remove an air bag!
You will need a flashlight. you can see some fuses against the firewall - they drop down when you push the tab on the left side left. (North American Model). There is a plastic pin on the right side and the whole thing (rather cheaply) falls down bring all the wiring with it. The fuse layout is on a piece of paper folded up and slotted into the "box".
To put it back you push the box up and to the right to insert the pin and slot back the left side - it will snap in place. This system holds the box in the correct position and there is no need to worry about the top of the box.
Here are some pics...

Does everyone's fuse layout sheet look the same? Are there clearer photos?
What are the fuses marked 4x4. What 4x4? Not on the UKL platform?
On ECSTuning's website you can see other fuses for the F56. Where do these go?
There seems to be other types on the fuse box?

No what was scary was the wiring required for the aux lights install to make the fuse box look like that. You should see what I had to do to get those buggers wired up!
I have a scanned in photo of the fuse box diagram in here:

Excellent!
I guess that's not a QR code? Is it supposed to go somewhere?
Glucklich21's says 21112013#9352171#01#F56
That's a date, November 21, 2013, and F56.
9 352 171-01 is the same number on the sheet, the part number for the sheet?
We need a pictogram translator for the fuse box diagram.
Ok, I found some info here:
