I need some help. I have a 2020 Canyon Denali, and want to tap the mirror for power to a radar detector that I plan to mount via a BlendMount. I bought the MirrorTap from BlendMount, but am unsure of what plug to tap. I tried unplugging the middle plug in the picture below, but after tugging for a bit, I gave up as I didn't want to damage anything. 

 

Is the middle plug the one I would use to tap, even if I sprung for the Gen5DIY harness? Is there a button that needs to be pressed to separate the plug? Is the middle plug the right one to do this?

 

Thanks all for any help you can provide.

I assume you’re going to back probe the mirror pins with the supplied wiring?

Power is violet with green stripe (at the top row second from left) and ground is black (top row fifth one from left)

Hope this helps

THANK YOU for the excellent response! I'm going to use a BlendMount MTX -1015 tap kit. 

Just out of curiosity, is the big plug on the right a collision camera of some sort? Also, IF I wanted to install a Gen5DIY Plug n Play, is it the middle plug that would be used, and is there a button somewhere to release it from its female counterpart?

Thanks again for the information, I do appreciate it.

Yes that’s the forward collision camera don’t touch it.

I have no idea what a plug and play is but must likely they would use that connector

The release tab is on the top. A small 90 degree hook would be your friend there. Picture for reference

I used a Clear-Adhesive Hook product from Lowes.  (Command Small 3-Pack Clear Adhesive Wire Hook (0.5-lb Capacity) 17067CLR-ES at Lowes.com)   

Item #127509 Model #17067CLR-ES   It was easy to attach and remove without scaring the bezel.

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.

      Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
