911Idiot's C4S Journey - Keep out... Beware of Dog

Just ordered the Blendmount and the 15" MirrorTap. I see conflicting info around the 12" and 15" MirrorTap power cord, so I went with the 15". I will be using a 9500IX. Anyone know if the 15" is going to work well or be too long? if long is it easy to tuck away inside the cover trim? Also, does it make sense to file a relief into the trim to accommodate the cable where it exits the trim joint?
Thanks in advance. And thanks for the awesome DIY tutorial on the install. Will be doing it next week.

I am pretty sure there is room in the cover trim to tuck away the excess. Cutting out a portion the trim for the cord makes sense.

I don't know if this has been discussed in this thread already or not, but I followed the instructions to hardware my V1 and found that the 12 inch mirror tap wire was not long enough for me. I would suggest the 15 inch one. Anyway, great DIY project. Thanks.

Thanks 911idiot. this was a great write up. i spent about 2 hours doing this...it is hard to remove the wiring out of the housing and harder to put back in. it is a clean install.
when u order from mirrortaps ask for the small tabs.
again thanks OP!

So I was looking at my mirror in the 997.2 GTS and I could not see where the wiring harness is to tap into. I do have the auto-dimming mirror, but cannot see where to tap into. Does anyone have pics of this installed on a 997.2 mirror? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Anyone who has done a mirror tap... How much room is there behind the plastic stalk cover (the one facing the front of the car, where the wire will come out)? I was thinking about the possibility of,putting a female rj11 jack inside the stalk, so the radar detector could be removed without leaving a dangling wire...

Yup. It would face out to windshield so without a cord plugged in would be essentially invisible.
