2024 mirror assembly different for mirror tap / Radar detector connection?
Hi y’all! I’ve seen a few videos for G82 mirror tap installs, but the actual plastic housing they remove is different than what I have on my 2024 model M4 comp xdrive coupe. Does anyone know if the assembly has changed recently? I’m not sure where to go to find a technical diagram of the plastic assembly.
I want to re-use my Uniden R7 that I had in my Cayman GTS but want to be as non-disruptive as possible on the electrical connection. And I don’t want to break this housing trying to get it open Thank you! |

Unlikely there has been changes to the plastic bits. Are you sure you’re doing it right? These are pretty easy to figure out with a good light and a plastic pry tool.

There are different housing depending on what equipment you have (assistance wise). There is a thread in the electronics section of the forum that shows the differences, IIRC. Search and ask questions there.

Thank you - I didn’t think about that but it makes sense. I have all of the driving assistance plus / pro, park assistant pro packages. The video I saw had little side pieces that went all the way to the top of the assembly while mine does not. I’ll keep poking around

Now that it’s connected it appears to be permanent 12v vs switched? Radar is not shutting off with the car. Tapped into the red and brown / black taps on the upper connector in the mirror housing. I’m surprised there would be a constant 12v up there. Am I stuck manually powering the unit on and off every time? |

Make sure you used the black plug in the connector, not the brown one.

Red wire on the tap matches with the red wire on the connector, black wire on the tap goes to the black wire on the mirror connector.

I have most options on my 24 G82 included Driver Asssistance Pro, Park assist and the Executive package. Removing the shell around the mirror is super easy. There are 3 pieces. The cap and the 2 sides. Remove the cap by grabbing both sides as close to the headliner as possible. Just pull straight down and the friction clips will release. Then lower it and slide it back toward you as it is hooked over the 2 side pieces. You can then just pull the 2 side pieces off easily. Should take no more than 2 minutes to remove. The first time I did it I used a trim removal kit and after that I found a trim tool was not needed.
