See what I mean, I don't really know if you can do harm wiring into the mirror, so I run away from trying.  :
I can post instructions and some pics if you are interested, but can't get to it until the weekend, as I'm lurking in Japan this week (haven't seen any 8-ers here yet, and Tokyo certainly is not lacking in vehicles) |
Dug up this old thread as facing the same decisions. I have installed a Blendmount for my Valentine 1 and currently have it hooked up to the console 12v adapter with the wire running up the right hand side of the console (tucked under the leather) to the unit. I did order their MirrorTap solution but am hesitant to install it until I know the wiring schematic. Can you post details of your Fuse install with pics? May ultimately go that route.
