2023 Rearview Mirror Access

[ATrainTX]

I figured I might as well ask here before I destroy this piece of plastic on the mirror trim trying to get access. I have a new 2023 Yukon XL Denali with the live rearview mirror. Trying to remove the trim to access the power port for the Gen5DIY adapter I bought to mount a radar detector. Their video shows a different type of mirror trim and I cannot figure out how to pop off this trim to access the mirror power port for this harness.

Anyone have any tips for me? I do have a trim removal tool but not sure if I should be prying on the TOP or the bottom of the center insert piece.

Maybe stop by an auto glass shop, they will know how to do it for sure since it needs to come off in case of a windshield replace. I;m sure they would know any ticks to make it easier

This was good advice! I asked my window tint guy when he was working on that to take a look. For future searchers looking for this answer — you just need to push UP from the entire bottom housing towards the roof and it pops off to allow you to access the center insert piece that unclips and then you’ve got access.

Just did this over the weekend for the same reason. I popped out the center piece and then slid the larger piece down.

Would love to see a picture of your mounted detector if willing.

Absolutely. I know that there are knock-offs out there but I have supported BlendMount for like a decade and it's just a great product so I'm OK with the higher price. Their mirror mount worked perfectly on my 23' with my Uniden R7 and the Gen5DIY power harness was seamless. Easiest detector install I've had on a vehicle to date. Big fan.
