Installed a new dashcam, WolfBox 900 Pro. A few more bells and whistles compared to my Fitcam but I’m digging it so far! The footage is crystal clear and carries a ton of info. Pretty slick!

Did you check if unplugging the factory mirror threw any codes? Or have any other unintended consequences? I saw some people online saying the sensors on the factory mirror effect the auto-glare headlights feature and the auto-dimming on the side mirrors too.

Also, does it work as a mirror when powered off, or do you need the rear camera to see out the back?

Sorry for asking as I'm sure this has been asked many times. How do you disable the front and rear parking/collision sensor obstruction warnings when they're iced over? Can the warnings be disabled in settings or forscan while leaving the sensors active?

Secondly, anyone know the oil drain plug size/pitch? Is it M12x1.5 or M12x1.75?
You can turn them off in one of the menus. You can pull up the owners manual on the screen and search for it.
The drain plug is the M12-1.75

Bought some pillar wraps from the OCD Plug. Not thrilled with the overall fit and finish, which I will explain, but for the cost and ease of applying the vinyl, I’ll keep them on.

Fitment - It doesn’t quite cover the entire pillar from edge to edge. There is a small sliver of gloss showing on the outer edges of the 4 wrapped pillars.

Finish - On one pillar, the vinyl had a few smudge/rub marks that probabLay came from handling during production. Tried applying some heat to it and it won’t come out. Tried some wax as well.

I hate anything piano black, especially on an exterior of a vehicle, so overall I’m happy.
Did you look into the ones on Rocky Mountain Graphics? I have some carbon fiber pillar covers that aren't vinyl that came from Tuffskinz, but for 250 they better be good. I can vouch for the product from Tufskinz

Do you record all your videos with a go pro? Thats legit. What tripod and mic is that?
Yup, just switched over to a GoPro 13 from a GoPro 7. The mic is a Rode VideoMicro with a deaddcat for obvious reasons. Tripod is an old Sunpack tripod that's seen better days. Its held together with zipties at the moment but gets the job done.

I haven't seen any consequences of unplugging the mirror no seen any codes. Even if it does impact side dimming on my mirrors, not sure I would even be able to tell.

Yes, when the mirror is off, it still functions as a mirror.

Does your 13 have the media mod? The picture doesnt look like you are using one. I have ports on my media mod on one side that yours doesnt. Sorry for the gopro question in a raptor forum. I was using a similar setup and wanted a new microphone.
