My local shop says that they do not recommend adding yet another load to the mirror circuit. 5 amps is a small load limit, and that particular fuse is already handling the loads from the mirror sensor/dimmer + digital compass + universal garage door transmitter, among other things (flashing alarm light, UGDO LEDs, etc).
I'll be powering my V1 from an alternate source. Can't recommend using Mirror Tap.
(Note: the blown fuse was in the fuse box under the hood, not the one in the trunk.)

Wiring issue seems common...I'm having intermittent power connection too. I told myself to try reconnecting with another pin but as I wiggle the wires the power comes back on. It hasn't fail me yet but I should fix it if I do.
