E60 12v Hardwire question
Hey everyone!
I was searching around the forums for a guide on how to hardwire 12v accessories like a radar detector or a 12v to 5v usb converter but was unable to find any guides that still have pictures of the wires.
Does anyone know which wires I can tap into? I heard you can tap into the green wire with a yellow stripe that goes to the mirror and possibly the sunroof motor wire. I want to avoid tapping into the sunroof wire as I read that it can cause a sunroof motor fault.
My alternative plan is to just run a long usb cable from the passenger 12v outlet to my dashcam near the mirror but I will have to order a higher wattage usb adapter in order to cope with the length of the cable.
Thanks!
