Install was pretty easy, took about 10 minutes start to finish. The initial panel with the speaker grille closest to the mirror, you start at the edge closest to you and pull downward. There is some force required, and I thought I heard a clip break, but all was good. Using the included trim removal tool to lever against the rear clips helped to loosen them. After that, separating the other two pieces from the mirror assembly was just simply prying them apart gently. Just remove the small plug from the mirror, insert it into the adapter and plus the adapter into the harness and tuck the wires, then reassemble. I've attached a few photos of the clips of the first panel so it's easier to see how it attaches.

It looks great!
Could you share how to best hide the wire to the rear camera across the car?

Does your camera shut off after you shut off the engine and lock the car?

I used a similar setup with a rain sensor adapter that I purchased on Amazon and linked it up to a VIOFO dash cam. However when I shut the car off and lock the doors the camera stays on and continues recording. Checked the footage on the cam and it recorded 8+ hours of it sitting in the garage. Not sure if I’m hooking it up to the wrong plug or not.

I am having issue confirming which fuse is ACC vs constant. It seems like when I check every fuse using fuse checking tool (the one with the light on it), all the fuses are on when the engine is off. Makes me wonder if this is just on for a short duration after turning car off or are all constant on. Can't contort myself to check the fuse box while care is locked and doors are closed haha to double check this.

The fuse card is still unavailable.

I have a radar detector waiting to install too, but I do not want the light of the detector remains ON inside the cabin. Anyone knows if there is an instant on/off fuse spot that sync with the vehicle's on/off status ?

Good help. Thanks.

Did you find a bolt/screw to use as a ground?
