Can you provide a link to the no-drill instructions you refer to? I looked this thread up and down and didn't see it (might have missed it though). Thanks...

Be careful here on this one piece and expect that you will break at least one of the blue panel clips because the force to remove it is more than the clip can handle. I broke one. You will need to buy replacements from Tesla. I didn't as the panel went right back in. I will when I have time. They are cheap.
Take the leap and remove the housing behind the rear view mirror. It will make for less frustration and a clean installI'm having some trouble getting the cable from the microphone enclosure to the windshield. I managed to get the power cable for the front camera in there without opening the camera housing, but I can't seem to get the rear camera cable through there. Any suggestions/tips?
There are 2 parts that need to come off. The smaller of the 2 will come off easily by pulling down and forward (towards the glass); it's connected by 4 tabs. Then remove the actual mirror, 1/4 turn counter clockwise. This will require some force. The last one to remove is the grill looking cover which protects the front camera hardware. This too will require force. It will feel as if your going to break it and you won't. There are 4 metal type clips which may or may not detach from the camera hardware. If one or more remain, I was able to use nose pliers to remove...don't use your fingers since the metal can have sharp edges. One you get this 3 items off, you will clearly see how to route the 2 wires.The other thread - Install of Radar Detector, Dashcam, and Laser Jammer (LONG)

Ah, more of those clips, that makes sense. Also, I was turning the mirror clockwise, which might explain why I couldn't get it to come off. I'll give it another try this weekend, thanks.There are 2 parts that need to come off.

Just received my blackvue and installed the cameras. I have a 2015 85D and there was a spare connector in the mic area. Measure the voltage and had 10VDC and 12VDC. Opened the connector and connected bare wires to the 12VDC wires and closed the connector.
Cameras powered up. There are a few things I need help with, please.
1. The Vin connector is very hot. The car is out of the sunshine, so the heat has to be from current. Is anyone else experiencing a hot power connector?
2. I set the camera setting to America-NewYork Eastern, but the clock is showing the GMT time. I have saved the setting, rebooted the camera and it still won't show the correct time although it has the correct time zone.
3. The GPS and Speed do not work. I drove the car about 1 mile and the location is Korea and the speed is - - -
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks, Mike
@Kalud I just received the new system. It supposedly came with a 32GB SD card already installed. Thanks for the feedback on the other parts.1. Might be normal if you installed another SD card that runs faster (not recommended). This runs cool and flawlessly. I tried two other that ran very hot and video corrupted on the card, stopped recording.
2. Normal, correct time will sync (with your set timezone) after the camera will acquire GPS and time sync. Give it some time outside.
3. Also normal, unfortunately, it will work on and off because of the windshield that partially blocks GPS signals, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
