Has anyone on the forums tapped power from the auto dimming function of the mirror, or any of the power sources in the ceiling of the cabin of a 991s. I am trying to locate and switched power source to power my dash cam dvr. I would like to avoid running a wire down the A pillar to the fuse box.

 

Blendmount sells a MirrorTap for the Auto Dimming Mirror. I don't have an auto dimming mirror, so I ran my wire down the A-Pillar. It only took about ten minutes to run the wire.

 

What system did you go with?

 

ma991, I went with the mini0801 system, it is pretty budget. I already installed it on my BMW, tapping the homelink switched wire in the overhead console.

 

I was thinking about doing that; however, the hardwire is a mini usb cable with a 12v to 5v 'inline' converter, which may not fit down the A pillar. Also, i'm not sure if I can source a long enough cable with a mini usb end.

 

I had a escort 9500 installed, I kept getting a error code which after checking found that there was only one power source that could be used or the power draw would cause fault codes. I had the radar detector rewired correctly and no problems. Not sure if entire car is this sensitive to tapping into wires, but had to wire my escort to a specific spot for it to work correctly.

 

Thanks. I just started looking into these. I did see this thread which may help someone:

They also just came out with an upgrade to the mini0801, the mini0803, 2k resolution.

Same compact size.

 

I have used this product successfully. Simple and effective.

Money2536, do you have any tips on how to open up the rear view mirror mount?
