2019 Rear View Mirror compared to 2018 with Tec Package

Pics from when I installed my radar detector.

Can you post which wire is positive and which wire is negative? Going to wire up my Valentine One this weekend. Also is yours a 802a with tech pkg? Thank you!

Green ground, black positive.

Although, someone may need to look closer -- I found that the black wire is switched along with the auto start on my 2019 (yes, 802a, tech package, blahblah).

There are multiple choices on the plug going into the rear view mirror. Go here.......

Yeah, that one is using green for ground, black for hot... which is where I got the idea from to use those same ones. My V1 cycles on/off with the auto start/stop in that configuration.

I absolutely did not want mine cycling with auto start/stop, hence the wires I used.

So using the navy blue wire for ground won’t cycle with the start/stop?

Did you use the Green wire as ground or the Navy blue wire as ground?

from post #39 in the link above:

"The navy blue wire is a ground as well once the plug is inserted, that's what I used as I found it easier to get to"

But always verify with a meter

..... posts that end too soon. Can you post the correct wire colors for a mirror tap if you used one? LOL!
