Radar Detector Direct Wire

Actually it turned out that it turns off after a while on its own, not sure how long, but I know when I come back to my car, it’s off and as soon as I unlock or open the door, it comes back to life.

7 minutes. It's 7 minutes. Most of the circuits power up/down with the BCM, which has a 7 minute post-turn-off timer.

For those with V1 ver 2, I ordered Blendmount BV1-2025 but they changed my order to bv1-2017 based on the picture i sent them. Also from the smudges you can tell it's probably a good move to wear gloves while installing.

Finally got around to doing the hardwire install today for the R7. The plastic cover was a pain to pry open but at least the clips somehow stayed in tact when it finally popped open. Tried sliding in the taps with all the cables and components in place but it was just not enough space to work around the mirror. Slid off the mirror and it was much easier to stick the taps into the right holes in the connector. Popping the plastic shroud back was much easier than taking it apart, and everything works without a hitch!

Anyone know if this timer can be adjusted with Bimmercode?

It cannot.

Sorry to revive an old thread but decided to hardwire my radar since my cigarette lighter blew a fuse and I can’t seem to get this part not drooping down. Any remedies or something I’m missing? I have the top two connectors at the top inside the hole

If you press on the middle of that thing (right on the seam) it splits in two. It's kind of a clamshell.

I figured it out by watching a video that may have been about replacing either the mirror or windscreen.
