LCI Blendmount MirrorTap
I had my previous car, a 2019 Audi SQ5, configured with the Blendmount MirrorTap wire for my Escort Max 360 radar detector at a car shop near me.
I just brought my LCI X4MC to the same shop, and they said they were unable to setup the MirrorTap on the X4. Has anyone had any luck with using the Blendmount MirrorTap wire on the X3M/X4M LCI? |

The install looks pretty straight forward, but I am still nervous to do this myself. I am a pretty handy person around the house, and I have installed a full JB4 on my 2019 Audi SQ5 and on a 2013 BMW 328i.
You think this is something I should be able to do myself or should I bring it to a shop? |

do what I did, remove the black housing, break a few plastic clips in the process, tap pins, and you're done.

I just pulled it down and broke one or two clips on the way.

1. i would tuck away that wire a bit better you can use the whole where mirror comes out so you see it less. 2. i see you have a phone holder that is connected to the air vent, be very careful with those. my wife was sitting down one day and she knocked it out with her bag, broke the went. it's a $1000 replacement. thankfully i am a bit handy so i was able to glue it back together. otherwise great job!

It has a support arm to not put all the weight on the vent. It definitely feels sturdy. |
