Here are some pics (not of my rear)
This is/was a temp install as I debate the merits of a K40 undetectable or similar. I did this by running the cable tucked in to the windshield frame, down the right side and connect in the passenger foot well 12v jack. Completely hidden wire. Worked so well I have put off the true hidden/built in system while I wait for my M6.

I don't know whether my unit is thinner than yours, cobradav, or mounted hgher, but I seem to have more freeboard above my mirror. The high position allows the driver about 90% use of the sun visor.

Ah, I see, we have very different cars.

Yup, I guess my overhead console or sun visors are different as there is no interference at all.

Did not mean to confuse anybody.
