Radar Detector Install

[DanY]

One question about the Blendmount on the truck. Is there still room on the mirror stalk to hang my hangtag parking pass for work? I have on on the C6 Corvette and the mount covers the entire mirror stalk. I need to stick the pass into the Passport Max mounting tab and it kind of lays on top of the detector.

I hardwired mine through the pillar & got power from the fuse box

not the best pics but you get the idea....

 

Better than you thought I was wondering if it would clear my Toll Tag...Thanks!

For those of you who have a 2015 GMC Sierra and the powered onstar mirror, here's the schematic for plugging in the mirror tap or invisicord from the mirror to your radar detector. In this case I'm using the Escort Passport Max2...Using pin #5 for ground and pin #2 for power

 

 

 

Help. I have a 2015 SLT Sierra. I have taken the mirror off and I am looking at my wire colors that don't match what you have here.....nor the location. I have 5 wires on on side of the connector and 4 on the other. On the side that has 4 there is a white, black, brown then yellow wire. (All are solid colors) on the other side are white with a thin black stripe, purple, white, red and green. Since I only have one solid black wire I figure that must be the ground but it is not in pin #5. I am not sure where to go for the power.....the solid purple?????

Dah......I looked on the other end of the connector and now see the wire colors and locations as diagramed. Sorry for my confusion.

No worries - I actually had the same moment of confusion when I looked at it since it is kind of a mirrored image....

i finally hardwired my dash cam. i removed the entire overhead console as shown in post 2... the big plug on the driver side is what i used to wire in a 12v power socket (cigarette lighter) and plugged my dash cam power supply into it.i use the e-prance 802 dash cams (similar to this http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F2GMUPU )

 

i got an accessory power plug similar to this for like $4 at advanced auto parts (cut off the clips):

wired into the big plug in overhead compartment. i forgot to get a pic or write down the pin number - but pretty sure mine was the purple/white wire in the middle row of wires (black was ground).

 

there's pleny of room up there to stash the power stuff. the camera is mounted just behind the rear view mirror so the cables ran down the mirror stalk from the roof.

Thanks......I really appreciate how you take time to respond. Thanks again for your earlier post on how to make the connection!!!!

Hey guys, new to GM-Trucks forum. Long time tundra guy who made the switch and freakin love the truck! Wanted to give help to anyone looking to do this mod. The difficult part was finding instructions on how to remove the mirror and plastic covering for the Lane departure warning system. (attachment). Once you remove the plastic pieces covering the mirror you can remove the mirror with the allen wrench to unplug the connection.

 

The plug taps for the onstar mirror are 1) 12V hot is Pin #2 Violet with green stripe wire 2) Ground is Pin # 5 solid black wire.

 

I used the blend mount in my prior vehicles so decided to stick with this. It cost more than the others (performance package and rogue mounts). You can use the mirror tap or cheaper invisicord. I chose to go with the latter (invisicord #N01PL micro version 16 inch with fuse). 12 inch length could work but make sure you use the micro connector taps. Not a difficult to do. Be careful when removing plastic piece number 2 on the diagram. The side tabs can stretch and break easily. other than that a piece of cake...

So what is the trick or process to remove the Lane Assist cover to get access to remove the mirror?

 

Experimenting on my dads '15 Silverado I can pop the large cover but what is the trick for the slot piece that protects the adjustable mirror tube part. (#2)

 

I ordered an invisicord, and it is suppose to show up today. Not sure if I got the correct one. I did one with a fuse, but not sure I did the micro taps.

(They really don't have a well designed or informative web page.)

They should both pop out if I understand which pieces you are asking about....

I can get the large portion to pop off but I think I need that smaller piece circled in this image to get to the hex screw for the mirror? I see it has like 2 small tabs from the schematic part of the pic. I assume that part pops out separately and that allows access to the base of the mirror mount where the hex screw is.

 

Does that make sense?

[TXTruk15]

yes, I believe you are correct - I'll go out and double check - just fyi, I didn't have to remove the mirror at all, just pushed it up out of the way in order to push the invisicord/mirror tap into the #2 and #5 plugs....

So if I just remove the cover I should have good enough access to the connector once I pull it out of the mirror?

[TXTruk15]

you should be able to pop off the whole cover, not just the #2 part, that will get you to the plug easier....

 

check this out...about 35 seconds into the video....

Like this idea. I was thinking where I was going to pull power. This seems perfect
