Calling all Electrical Wiring Gurus: ZL1 mirror doesn't have switched Power?
I'm hoping any electrical gurus or those knowledgeable about the 2012 Camaro can answer this. I just got my MIRRORTAP & BLENDMOUNT and tried hooking up my V1 Radar Detector to my 2012 ZL1. MIRRORTAP gives you colored connectors but no instructions; so I used common sense and plugged their BLACK pin into mirror's BLACK wire and RED pin into RED wire. Now the V1 fired right up when I turned the car on... BUT it stays on when I turned the ignition off It appears the ZL1 has no switched power in the rearview mirror; I searched around and it appears all 2012 Camaros with the RearView Camera have this problem...:(
Is this true? I don't want to run a wire to the fuse box, but I also don't want to have to manually turn off my V1 every time I get out of the car to avoid killing the battery. |

Please let me know if this works as I will be mounting my escort soon. |

It takes all of about 10 minutes to run a wire to the mirror from the fuse box. I used a foam piece of tubular weather stripping and put my wire inside of that before I routed it, so that it would not rattle.

Okay I guess I am not the only one running into this problem, local dealer service department had no clue as to which wires to use.

The Ignition wire is what you are looking for. It's a pink wire. One of three pink wires to choose from. Which one? Pin 2 on the rear view mirror connector.
There is a little more info in the Homelink thread but, you've now got what you need. All you need is two crimp on tap connectors and the DC plugin connector for your detector with space connectors on the other end. Plugin and voila done. It's essentially the same power source used for the Homelink mod.
