V1 connected to Mirror Tap....Blendmount.....Bluetooth Question

[Stentplacer]

I am using V1 with iPhone Bluetooth now. Bluetooth connected to side port of cigarette lighter port.

im converting to Blendmount with mirror tap to Lose The Hanging Cable!!!

will I encounter any issues putting the Bluetooth module in line with power and detector behind mirror???

You'll need a 4 wire cable between the 2

Do you need to use a splitter at the v1?

 

[Stentplacer]

Can you be more specific as to what I need to order and from who.
thanks much

Does anyone know if this will fit a Chevy Volt mirror? Are the taps generic?

Anyone tapped any modern Chevy these days? They are probably all similar.

I like this one because I can avoid a splitter.

Also there is a huge cover for the camera that I was think of mounting V1 to. I don’t like Blend mounts.

If your mirror has an OnStar module don't put the BT dongle near it. It will interfere.

Interfere with what BT or the OnStar?

BT or BTLE?

It will cause BT connection issues with apps like JBV1.

Might even interfere with V1 Driver...
@Matthewstorm, you are talking to @mswlogo, creater of V1 Driver.

@mswlogo, I'll bet that he's talking about the LE version.

@BlueV1 really? @mswlogo created V1Driver? Cool! @Matthewstorm is honoured. Great app.
Yes, LE version.

@mswlogo - He offers two different size taps. I was using the standard taps and tried switching to the smaller version on my GTI. Could not get good connection. Pins are shorter and smaller. I will say Cary, at invisicord, stood by his products and switched out the cord for free. Excellent customer service. Emails take a couple days to be answered but great service.

I ended up going with the blend mount one because it is more specific over the correct pin size for a particular vehicle. But still no directions on exactly where you need to tap or which connector or side of a connector. It was also cheaper and available on Amazon Prime so I could return it. It worked out perfect.

Since it was not a dual set of connectors I needed a splitter. But there was room inside the mirror cover to fit it.

The bluetooth Dongle is double side taped to the outside of the mirror cover. Out of view of my eyes, outside or the sun.

Pretty clean and quick install.

Hi all. I'm bumping an old thread as I'm looking for this exact solution. However I'm not the smartest so need this explained a little better please...

My goal is to use my V1 with bluetooth module via a mirror tap. If I remember correctly, the V1 and BT module need to be plugged into the same power source. Which is an issue when using mirror tap since the mirror tap only plugs from the mirror to 1 RG45. So how do I plug the BT module in?

I'm tempted to just buy a V1 Gen 2 since it has BT built in. Problem solved. But then I'm spending an extra $300 to get that function ($500 for new unit - $200 to sell my v1 on ebay).

Would this product solve my problem? Assuming I have enough room in the mirror housing to fit both the mirror tap and the BT connector?

Invisicord Products

So essentially I would use this invisicord to have 1 RG45 to the V1 then the other RG45 to the BT adapter.

Then figure out how to fit it all into the mirror housing.

Does this make sense?

I would look at it a little differently. For $300 you are getting BT(what you want) and way better range, filtering and wifi updates, plus other things too I am sure ( I am not super familiar with G1).

Just my 2cents.

2018GTI: you're not helping me here... I planned to buy the V1 G2 however I'm trying to do the right thing and milk out the G1

 

[Bloovy One]

I'm not going to help either. I still have my Gen1, but I have no interest in ever using it again after driving with my Gen2.
The BSM rejection alone is terrific!

 

[911C4S]

Alright.... I went ahead and placed an order for the gen 2 today. Fingers crossed I don't have any quality issues like I've seen reported in some posts....
