Tinted 20% all the way around. It’s been great so far, even on the overcast rainy Pacific Northwest days.

That's the adaptive content screen in live car view when in Sport mode right? Try putting that on the full screen and you may get a picture like the one below. I think it looks more impressive when in full screen. :-)

What is the psi reading in your view for? The turbo psi? My screen below is for the i5, so it just shows the rpms and temperature of the electric motor (in addition to torque and hp).

I’ll have to try this in sport mode tmrw. I only have played w/ this view in the personal mode.

The adaptive screens show different things depending on what drive mode you are in.

Totally works for the 550 experimented during my errand running today.
Thanks for the heads up!

Lighting conditions? Not sure. But it works and I’m good with it.

I’ve got a Y connector ordered that I found on eBay. Basically allows you to split the rain sensor power, with one side ending in the RJ11 for my Escort detector.

I have a question, though, before I get into it. How does the cover for that area remove? In what direction should I push or pull, and From what angle? I’m not sure where the slots are to disengage it.

Let me know what you find as well as the part for the y connector as this would be perfect for me to mount my escort as well.

Here you go my friend. Be mindful as there are multiple options, so be sure to get the escort RJ11 one. This seems much more “clean” than a splice.

Thanks! Now to figure out the rj11 option as mine has the mute function.

Finding a good mount is so painful. Some of the ones on Amazon were cost efficient but hung down way to far, and people reported they bounced around. I finally caved and ordered a Blendmount.

Thankfully, I noticed that they offer a discount to healthcare professionals, so I went through the verification process and got about 20% off. Still wildly priced though, but every review stated 100% satisfaction across forums.

I sent them a mirror pic as they advised and they ended up emailing me and informing me they were sending me model: BMG-2043 instead of what the configurator suggested, so they do pay attention and cross check.

I used this video to help remove the shroud. Minus the not being a G60 it was nearly the same shroud around the mirror.
