I tried to install my radar following the instructions I was able to get the radar to work but now my sunroof doesn't work I get a error message. I put everything back to stock and the error still shows up. I also tried holding the button for 20 seconds I hear a click but nothing happens anyone know how to fix this?

I tapped into a green wire that had 12v it wasnt a sunroof wire, I tried to install it like the post I saw in here above the rear view, the sunroof makes all the noises like its trying to open but it wont open.

For the pre-LCI, it should've been the green/yellow wire.
It's what I'm using.
