On the other hand, you get the benefit of being able to re-enable HBA... which I'll take any day for having to offset the camera! =) |

Quite pleased with how it turned out and thanks again to the OP for posting the detailed info on the wiring which made this install a breeze! Here's the view from the driver's seat: Offset to the right due to the HBA camera assembly blocking the mounting area that was chosen by the OP: View from outside: |

Hey great write up and pics Op and others!
I got the parts to install this yesterday. I just wanted to get some additional insights into removing the plastic cover. Are there just some clasps of some sort connecting the 2 halves? ie, when I stick a credit card in the middle (from the bottom of the assembly), I'll figure it out? Any tips here would be appreciated! Thanks, Praz

Yes, the clips are not very thick or snap together, they just sort of slide into position. It pops apart very easily.

You're right - the left one popped out first and then the right one came out with a little jiggling.

Quick stupid question - On the blendmount website, there are a lot of them under M235, one is actually on a waiting list! Which is the correct one for a US Spec 2015 M235? also On amazon, I see a Blendmount too, is that the right one?

Thank you!!!
Just installed everything.... Passport 9500ix hanging from my mirror like the car came with it!!!!
Absolutely amazing, I used to get really annoyed by the up and down motion of the detector on suction cups in earlier cars but this is phenomenally stable! Thank you so much for the DIY! Really dont know how I would have figured out (without burning something up first) where to plug in the Mirrortap. |

I just installed the MirrorTap in my M235i Convertible. It was as easy as described with one exception. I pulled the socket up where I could more easily unplug the harness, and it took quiet a bit of fiddling to line the socket up to nest back where it came from. If I did it again*, I might not even unplug the connector.
I haven't done a blend mount, because I'm afraid my fairly chunky V1 will block my view of cross traffic at intersections. (I already find the rear view mirror in most imported cars to sit too low for my liking.) [*] ... which I plan to, for my wife's 2012 328i. Should I expect it to be wired the same as the 2er? |

I'm having an issue wi my install. First, I didn't get that breaded looking wire. I just got the rj11 wire with an inline fuse. Hooked everything up to my V1 and it was working. Then hooked up my concealed display via a splitter and it worked for a bit then lost power. Probably blew the fuse but
Won't know til I can check for sure (it got dark out). Has anybody come across this issue? Think I can use a higher amp fuse to get all the accessories working? Any thoughts? |
