Mirror tap and Fuse tap for Detector or Dash Cam?

[Fawnbuster]

I ended up doing the blendmount again and running a mirror tap for my RD. However, I still hardwired my dashcam to the fuse box. I dont think it's wise to run both off one fuse.

Thanks! I don't have my RR yet, is the fuse panel you used down in the pedal area or ? Wondering if I could tap into one of the hot wires coming to the overhead oem switches? That would be closer but I'm not sure which would be the easiest.

The fuse panel is under the steering column and very easy to get to. There are other threads on here explaining which fuses to tap into. I do not recommend using one of the aux switches either.

i am wondering if the wire we are tapping into can support both a radar detector and a camera? I am perfectly fine with a radar detector shutting down after the truck is off a while, that is how i had my 2019 wired in however i really want the ability to have my dash cam power up automatically when motion or an impact occurs when its parked and off. i dont wanna drain the battery but it would be a nice extra protection plus i only wanna take the mirror cover off once if at all possible.

You'll have to hard wire the dash cam if you want park mode. The mirror doesn't have power when truck is off.

This thread was incredibly helpful. Thanks, everyone. I do have a little more gap between the headliner and the mirror panel than I did when I first took it off. I felt around for any clips that weren't engaged, and I think all of them are. Most people probably wouldn't see it, but since I saw it before/after, I notice a bit.
