Mirror Tap (Radar / Dash Cam Install)

BEM-S4 · 11-22-2021, 09:54 AM

Hey, guys. Tried searching but came up empty. Anyone do a mirror tap to install either a radar detector or dash cam in a EDIT: F44? I specifically need help taking the mirror housing apart then which wires to tap.

I've done this before on F23, F30, F31 and G20 just to name a few cars, but ordering a G42 for mom and I'm not familiar with the car at all. Couldn't find anything either here or on YouTube for car-specific guidance. Even a suggestion on what specific Mini to look for (if parts are similar) would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

It's got to be almost identical to G20. I just did mirrortap radar detector on my M340i and it was super easy.

You're right... but I messed up and posted in the wrong sub forum. I need F44 for the GC, where I am not entirely sure what comes from the BMW parts bin and what is Mini sourced.

MODS - any way to move thread pls?
