My F30 has no power rear view so I ordered a mirror tap to try this out. Lo and behold, works like a charm and was super easy. Uniden is reading a steady 14.7 volts and turns off a few minutes after the rest of the accessories.

I have buddies with blendmounts and while they are nice, they obstruct vision more than I'm comfortable with. On that same token, if pulled over the officer is more likely to make that claim as well. I'm not concerned about a cop seeing it as they're completely legal in CT, but understand the desire to conceal them. By the time I have my next car laser deterrents will be more necessary, that's the kit I'm more keen to keep concealed.

Awesome
Rain sensor method worked like a charm after other attempt failed. Just canceled my order for the Escort Solo4 I ordered in frustration last night when could not get it to work using the main housing.
Thanks for the post! |

Anyone know if there’s a release tab for the connectors with all the wires? Already broke the pin on the ground for the rear view power cord once so I want to take the connectors out to get a better view when inserting the taps. I’ve watched YouTube videos and they remove it in seconds but I’ve been moving them around all over the place and they won’t come out

FYI - I purchased the official Mirror Tap from the blend mount website and the wires going to the mirror itself work fine for my Uniden R7. Turns off about 5 seconds after car is off.

Happy this is still helping out! I'm about to go through this all again as I just got an M8 competition and can't drive without my radar nowadays

Just picked up a 2018 M3 and having a helluva time getting my mirror tap or rain sensor tap to work properly. Mirror power green/brown wire definitely doesn't seem to have enough juice as the detector won't power on at all when connected with that method.
When I use the rain sensor method, the detector keeps restarting intermittently because the power connection is loose. Going to have to try another RJ11 cable set because it seems like either my contacts are either too skinny or too fat.

i'm at a total loss now. i realized i had some positaps leftover from another project, so i thought i would give that a try on the rain sensor plug, since this is the only one the detector has worked with (but intermittently as the contacts kept falling out). got the positaps installed on the red/white (rain sensor power) and the brown/black (ground). still no power....

I had to move my mirror around a bit to get enough space to get the two pieces apart but once done I found it easier to visualize where the taps needed to go. Also light helped as it is a bit dark in the cabin. Otherwise it was easy once I decided to use the black mirror connector and got it removed from the housing and two parts disconnected. Quote:
