2020 Model S radar detector mirror tap - switched power

I also have a 2016 P90D, which wires did you end up tapping (color)?

Save yourself the risk and trouble to get figure it out. Just use this. Its been years now, but it took us a while to figure out the source.

I have the 2016 (actually 2016.5 w/facelift) and it doesn't have the dash cam or sentry mode. Do you know if this harness tap will still work?

Yes, we sourced those parts and installed the first Blackvue's in 2014. I had them on me 2013 and on my 2017.

Took a while to id everything as there was no help from Tesla. Lots of people were using a 4 pin doggle that connected for power to a computer fan, but it didn't secure/fit properly.

A little history for you. This connector has nothing to do with TeslaCam mode.. The connector is for an an intrusion detection device that was required available in EU, then made available in the U.S. Sentry is watching the outside of the car. Intrusion Detection was when movement inside the car was triggered. Even so far as breaking glass and motion created when someone got in, stuck their hand in and started grabbing stuff.

I don't recall but they were in the exact same positions as the instructions here.

But that cable is for permanent +12V supply, which is what you want for a dashcam so it records while parked. Radar detector probably shouldn't be permanently powered.
