I swiveled the connector down a bit and tapped into the yellow and brown. Took a while the get the taps in. I think the trick was to go behind the wire in the connector. Originally I was trying to go in front and slide the tap in. But it may be different for you.

Hopefully this is the correct link. It's post 16 in the thread, and there are pictures.

Hope it helps.
if I already have a radar tapped into the mirror, I’m pretty much out of luck and have to use the fuses under the foot rest correct?

Te trickiest part was finding the fuses below the left foot pad to stay on safe side maybe two hours max with a brake for coffee and beer .
Spent some time exploring the app, also found a better third party PC program instead of the stock Thinkware.

any idea which fuse to use?

Parking Mode is your friend...may want to rethink not having it on while parked.

yes, this would only record when the car is turned on. Once you turn the ignition off, the recording stops.

I found out the homelink fuse cuts power off with auto stop/start. Which fuse should I use to for continuous power?
