I JUST completed the infamous Radar Detector mirror tap process on my new '24 230i. Moulding around the rear-view mirror is finicky however I was able to remove it without damage and can see the interior 'clips' used to secure it around the mirror. The process is pretty straightforward however it was hard to find details regarding WHICH place to insert the leads. It also was not apparent in the posts that these flat leads merely travel/slide alongside the factory pins (interference fit) vs. attaching to anything. Once that it done, zip tie the leads so if the detector falls off the mount, it doesn't rip the connectors out in the mirror mount. Checked out good, powered off after 10min so.

Someone send me details on this lol
