Inner rear view mirror back cap covering fuse.

Hi. I'm trying to get instructions for how to remove the little plastic over on the back of the inner rear view mirror so I can hook up a radar detector. Thanks for any help!

 

I was told by a tech at Toyota flat head screwdriver would work, but it was starting to destroy it.

 

Are you installing a mirror tap for power?

 

Yeah trying to do that

 

You can Insert the 2 pins into the back of the connector. Let me see if I can find the pics from mine before I moved my radar down to my Rago.

 

See if the video in post 3 will play for you. I'm having connection issues.

Thanks for that video! That's the exact model of kit I have! I just need to know how to get the plastic protective cover off the access the fuse with with destroying it. Doesn't want to pop off and it's in an awkward postion

 

Lol got it

 

Now I'm running into the issue that my wires are different than yours. I tried red to red and black to black and it didn't work. Sigh

I have black followed by red followed by orange followed by brown on the top row and yellow and green on the bottom row. Any suggestions?

 

I will have to look through the wiring diagram link but did you have the ignition on when you were testing it? Its easy to forget

 

Yeah I made sure! It works with the cig lighter plug it. I also disconnected the harness from mirror and plugged it back in to make sure it had power and my mirror is definitely getting power through that harness. Thanks so much for helping!

 

I took my tundra in to get brakes done and asked the dealership to test the 6 wires and let me know which one was the 12v and which was the ground. They said they could not figure it out and to wire the thing to my cigarette lighter. Sigh
