I did mirror tap as well following the YouTube video. Was a bit of a pita to get the tap in, but I did it. Comes on when you unlock the car and turns off after you get out of the car.

Hey Y'all.
Yesterday I was morrow tapping my radar detector going into the connector on the black and white and brown and red wires. Had it working but switched to a color matching cable from amazon and discovered the pins were a little bit short. Aster altering the length of the pins the radar detector would not turn off once the car shutoff and locked. Does anyone know any reason that would cause this? |

Cover the IR emitter at the back of the ceiling front light complex with tape and then you do not have any of the laser falses. It is the 1 x 3 inch clear sense that points down and forward. Who really uses gesture control anyway? Black electrical or, better yet, gaffer's tape works well and is unobtrusive.
For Valentine users, Savvy will set off the car alarm in BMWs from the about 2013 on. I had 2013 and 2016 750s and both were incompatible. It works fine with my 2012 M3. Joe |

Hi everyone,
I am new to this forum and have joined to get some help on a few stressful things. I have a UK G31 530d xDrive 2017. I have modified my front headlights and installed RGB angel eyes. They have 3 wires. red for +, black for - and white for ignition. I would like the lights to turn on when unlocking the car, id like them to stay on whilst the car is running and finally turn off after a few minutes when I lock the car and walk away. What fuse is suitable in the front drivers side footwell fuse box. I believe it is the Z44 fuse panel and I assumed f59 and f50 used for dashcam is maybe similar to what I want. I am also unsure if i would need to tap into 2 fuses, if the red cable is connected to positive on the battery wouldn’t it stay on always? Appreciate everyone’s help, Sully |

I suspect, although just guessing, that the red is your power and the white is the "trigger" that actually turns the light on and off. So yes, the red would be wired directly (with fuse) to the battery positive, and the white to a switched source in the fuse box. The instructions should explain that. Good luck!

Also, spent ages trying to find grounding point - on the UK RHD G30 there is a small storage compartment for sunglasses - 2 T25 torx screws sees this removed exposing the area above the OBD socket and an easily accessible grounding point. |
