So I finally got around to hardwiring my ESCORT Max 360C and M1 dash cam on my 2019 M550i today using the BlendMount rearview mirror bracket. I used the ESCORT direct wire kit with a fuse tap into fuse block F50 which is direct accessory power. I pulled up the schematics and verified it with a BMW technician friend of mine.
I did purchase the MirrorTap cable, but the rearview mirror wiring has changed on the 2019 models and there was no brown/green and brown/black wires on the new harnesses. I decided to go directly to the fuse box because BMWs are so temperamental with power distribution and sensors and I didn't want to risk any critical component from not having enough power. You can also use blocks F273 and F284, but F50 is the most accessible one near the passenger kick panel. Here is a link to the fuse box diagrams for a G30: https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/g...ent/1VncUXgeU6 No surprise here, but the mute button light is very bright, but it matches my blue ambient lights. I'm very happy with the way it turned out. I hope this helps some of you. Last edited by VirtualGuitars; 02-02-2019 at 07:11 PM.. |

I wasn't aware that Escort had a dash cam. Thanks for posting. What are your thoughts on the M1?
