I have seen others install the Uniden R8 mount and wired it to the rearview mirror. I thought that looked much better then the cigarette lighter setup.
And now that i accidentally shorted the cigarette lighter by dropping a screw in it , it would be nice to have this done while i figure out replacing the fuse.

I got to the point of removing the shroud, but i couldn’t figure out how to remove the wire clip. I finally lost patience in my sauna of a garage and put it back together.

Any advice on removing the connector? Im guessing i should patch onto the actual mirror connector, though i see the windshield rain sensor seems like it is under there too.
And once removed, does anyone already know the wire to patch off of, or i can just use my multimeter to look for the 12v (DC?).

BMR.WRLD, Geighty7, not sure if either of y’all took any pics or anything while installing?

Check out this link, showing which connector at the mirror is used.

No install pics but I did YouTube “G80 Uniden Install” since the G8X platforms all share the same mirror tech.

Super easy install- I highly recommend calling up Blendmount and getting the right size taps for the Uniden vs getting them on Amazon. They seem to be much better quality and fit like a glove. I believe they give you 4 pairs and the 2nd to smallest fits.

PM me if you have any questions, I can walk you through the process if you need more info

Thanks everyone it turned out well!

I tried pulling the connector out, seemed like i was going to rip some wires, so i stopped. It was pretty easy to jam the probes in anyways.
Also noticed the windshield wipers go on when i stuck in each probe; but it looks like everything is working (radar, garage door opener, windshield wiper).

^ Is there seriously no way to suck that thing up closer to the mirror?

Is that the proper Blendmount for the G87?
