It seems like that sits very low in your field of vision No?
I just picked up my car today and noticed how little space b/w the bottom of the mirror and the top of the Nav screen. I wanted to get the blend mount, but it seems like it would obstruct the field of vision.

Honestly though I don't find it much of an obstruction but I did have the same concern as you. I'll take another photo later from the drivers vantage point and post it. |

Quick question, I just ordered the MTX-1015 mirror tap power cord, and it comes with 4 different sets of tap sizes (.040", .045", .060", or .075"). Do you know which size you used?

Where did you get the blend mount and which one is the correct one for the M2?
I might not do the mirror tap but instead run the wire from the fuse box using a fuse jumper. Only issue is mirror tap seems so much easier

The wiretap is so easy and clean. I'd recommend it vs any other option. |

I think the MTX-1015 superseded the MT-4015, and is now what MirrorTap is selling on their website for all BMWs. The 0.075" leads ended up being too short, so I used longer 0.060" leads and everything works great!

No, those are the measurements. On my package of 4 sets of leads, each set was a different thickness. I started with the thickest leads (0.075" according to the package), but they weren't long enough to make a good connection. The next smaller thickness (0.060" thick) were longer than the 0.075" set, and that did the trick.

After you installed the mirrortap, the radar detector turns off with the car right? Coming from a VW, if the mirrortap was tapped wrong, it will stay on and drain the battery.
Also, did it show any signs of dimming or faintness when you put the car in reverse? |

Yes, RD turns off when the ignition is switched off and no i can't say i've noticed any signs of dimming at all.

Does the MirrorTap splice into the wire (i.e. cut through the insulation to make a connection)?
