If I don't cut anything I'll have 6 ft of wiring when I need 18" without wiring it to the glovebox. Even after taking it to the glovebox I have 2-3' that I'm going to have to stash somewhere.
Tapping into wires that aren't normally hot will still power the radar? I have no normal power to my overhead unit, I have the bare bones wire harness setup.

No it doesn't need constant power. I was planning on fuse 8, would the extra breaker fuse (included in the cable) cause any issues?

If the OP is still around, or anyone else who has done it, did you completely remove the large torx bolt? I was in the middle of this job today, had it all done and just could NOT find a good ground. So tried this bolt, but it started to make a funky noise when loosened and I was afraid some nut or spring would fall off the back.
Does this bolt come out and go back in easily? As it is the perfect place for a ground wire. Thanks! |

Hardwire connection to convertible 135i mirrior?

I just purchased an Escort SmartRadar and hope to power it from the mirror using the short cable provided by Escort. I've tried to find a link of how to do this, but the note above is the closest I've found. Note, I have auto high-beams, not sure if that would change the install process as there are extra electronics packed into that mirror assembly. Any helpful hints or thread links would be sincerely appreciated! |

Any insights on how to tap the power from the mirror? I have the same mirror as shown in the main thread of this column (with auto hi-beam sensors). |
