Default V1 reaview mirror install with mod'd visor clip

hey guys

heres the install i did of the visor clip mod, the pic's are pretty self explanatory "spelling?"

the only issues i ran into were, i wanted to orignaly tap for power at the sunroof/lights controls,
but however for some reason i guess the draw was too much and wouldnt power up the unit, you could tap into the sunroof motor, but the wires were kind of hidden.
i ended up running a wire straight down the pillar by tucking it into the trim strip and tap'n at the fuse box.
the only other weirdness was when i went to snap a pic of the unit powered up, the camera and the V1 fought, it started tripping laser warning and the menu on the camera started flipping out! "dont ask i have no clue"

one day when you uninstall it you will be left with 2 small screw holes on the lil visor flap but who uses that thing anyway??

post questions if you get lost, ill try to help

Default Only one of the images loads for me. Interesting approach, though.

I prefer it sort of tucked behind the rearview on the passenger side - hides it from prying eyes.

Default depends on the browser.

stop using '&amp;#92;'s aka backslashes.

Default how did you keep the visor from folding down? Run the screws through the 2nd part of the visor on

the other side of the hinge?

mount the v1 back far enough that it rests before the light and supports itself
