I have not had that issue. The accessory power should remain on during Auto Start/Stop, which includes power to the camera/mirror system. Can you post a pic of your MirrorTap installation to verify you're tapped into the correct lines?
Anyways, re-installation was no big deal, and my UnidenR3 is still saving my a$$.Yes I was able to confirm that it connected exactly like the pictures. Red to the blue and grey wire and black to the middle black wire. Everything looks identical but for some reason it turns off and back on only while the truck is starting after the start/stop. I haven't checked if it does it when turning the key from on to the start position (to start the truck) and back to on. I'm wondering if whatever power source the mirror is on gets cut during engine start. The radar detector also turns off if the key is on acc but the radio stays on but a previous comment says this is acc power?I have not had that issue.

I recently had my windshield replaced by Safelite. They undid my MirrorTap. On they way out of the windshield shop, the old tech complemented my truck.
So the wire you ran it to was 12v? I know its not ideal,, but you already cut the wire. You can take apart the adapter and get to the board itself. It should not be that big. The connection points for the plug is where you would wire the source. make sure to get the pos and neg correct. Then you just throw some heat shrink over the board to seal it up and lay it in a pocket somewhere. Did that make sense?
Good for you Alex! That’s way above my patience level. ? I’d be on Amazon ordering a new unit as soon as I realized the error. ?
Yep, but the wires and connections in there are too tiny for my skill level. I’ve ordered an adapter kit that I hope will get it going.
Is there!? I wasnot able to locate it. Could you point me in the right direction? Maybe a link for those of us (me) that are obviously search challenged?
With so many people using dash cams these days, this should be a standard feature on all vehicles. Thanks for posting.Making a new thread for this here so it doesn't get lost in the clutter.
- pull down firmly on the upper plastic housing surrounding the camera
- locate the light grey connector (w/ 3 wires) and disconnect male & female
- Insert positive (red) wiretap below the Blue (switchable 12V) wire
- Insert ground (black) wiretap below the Black (ground) wire
- Heat shrink your connections
- I used a 5/32 bit to make an opening to route my cable through the plastic housing
Something like this might solve your issues (not necessarily a recommendation, just the first one that showed up in the google box)
