MirrorTap and BlendMount - DIY Installation Video
Hi Everyone,
I wanted to put together a quick DIY for the installation of a MirrorTap and BlendMount to get my radar and dash cam installed in my new X1 for those who might be interested. I have been running BlendMounts and Mirror taps in all my cars for over 10 years and have had nothing but positive experiences. Their prices may be a bit high but their stuff is great quality and they stand behind it with great customer service and support. Here is the first DIY I made when installing in my 2014 M235i many years ago: https://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=998321 BlendMount - Mount that attaches to the stem of the rearview mirror. They make mounts for Dashcams, Radar Detectors, etc. MirrorTap - Taps into the power from the rearview mirror without needing to run wires to the fuse box, or anywhere too far. In this guide I am using these parts: BlendMount: https://blendmount.com/aluminum-rada...ries-bv1-2036/ MirrorTap: https://blendmount.com/power-cord-mt...ry-grade-taps/ Escort Dashcam Mounting Kit: https://blendmount.com/escort-m1-m2/ **NOTE: When purchasing, make sure you use the selector on their website in order to find the kit the fits your vehicle and radar detector, as these vary.** DIY VIDEO **NOTE: The wiring notes in the video are specific to my car. In theory other similar or same models SHOULD be the same. I have seen other models with totally different wiring and wiring colors, so be cautious when doing these MirrorTap installations.**

actually, the point for the black cover is so that you don't see it from the outside?
