Howdy,
Didn't need the Mirror Tap. I called the guys at Blendmount, who are great, they said no problemo to send it back. Terrific customer service.
The Blendmount is sweet. OMG, I can't believe I never have to see a suction cup again.
PDA Road Gear did the install. Cost me $150.
They tapped into the 12v on the drivers side. Call them and ask, I'm sure they'll tell you how they did it.
It's La Bomba.
Super happy to have my V1 back. I think the V1 is the best. The only two speeding tickets I've had both came when;
1. I had the stereo up so loud I couldn't hear the V1
2. I didn't have a V1
The V1 has saved me sooo many times. I love it.
On the side note. The guys showed me the latest and greatest from K40. I'm most likely going to trade my M3 red brakes later in 019. When I do, and if I have F You money, I'm putting in the K40. It's a cut above.
Peace and love!

Radenso will get better and betterNice job!
Side note: before buying the K40, I would highly suggest checking out the RC-M from Radenso. Awesome performance from an awesome company. They're super active in the community on RDForum.org. Uniden and Radenso are the top players currently, and will be for at least the next few years.
Radenso will get better and better
The best guy from Uniden [ who was behind their best RD tech] just moved to Radenso.
I feel this means Radenso will be killing it in next few years
thanks for sharing, excellent guide.I finished my Install and tried to show it in good detail, step by step, with photos for anyone else to replicate. I'm really happy with how it came out. Plus radar works again. (It was useless in my Model S due to the front wondswinds film)

On my S I used a mirror tap and got switched power inside the mirror housing. Don't recall the color anymore, plus it may have changed over time. Just need to poke around with a volt meter.thanks for sharing, excellent guide.
where is the switched supply on the model S ?

On the Model 3 yes, always on. So fine for a dashcam.thanks
I was under the impression that Mirror tap was 'always on'
Mine is the SAME!!!!! March 2019 build. I came to this thread because for the life of me I kept telling myself, "mine doesn't look like the videos!"Just wanted to update this post, as my model 3 came with the slot already occupied....

For those asking, the mirror tap is constant on 12V. That is the go to spot in my opinion for dash cams.
For radar detectors, I used the driver footwell 12V switched power (the blue wire referred above). I used the Posi-Tap I linked before and it was super simple. Done it on my own 3 + someone else's.
My V1 + Blendmount combo is great. Only problem is that I sometimes don't turn up the V1 loud enough when I am blasting music!
@surfrasch I like how you installer put the wire through the piece he/she did, rather than out the front as I have it. May have to tweak my set up, thanks for the pics!
It is a bear to find, took me an hour and at one point I was so frustrated, I had to take a break and watch YouTube videos. That being said, it is in there. Mine was buried waaay in the back of the bundle, The key is it is a thicker light blue wire, maybe 16gauge. There is another similarly sized light blue wire twisted together with a white one. That is a good verification that you have the right wire. Good luck.@11ac10, where's this blue wire again? I searched this but didn't find it.
