BM for 2015 X5 +hardwire install of V1

I sent an email to Mark (36 hours ago) at BM but no response at this point about whether they have a BM that will work on my 2015 X5.

I used a BM in my 2012 X5 but the latch is not wide enough to work with the F15.

The photos on the BM web are so confusing that I had to submit a photo of my E70 rearview mirror to Mark to get the correct BM for my E70.

Confusion reigns which I would like to resolve before a 3K mile trip that starts early January.

Another part of the equation is doing a hardwire install of my V1. When I did a hardwire install of my V1 in my 2012 X5, I stayed away from a 'mirror tap' or like connection because I needed to use V1C LE.

One must use either a V1C LE for use iP apps by V1 and SA or the V1C to use the incredible Android app YaV1 (https://www.rdforum.org/forumdisplay.php?f=159) that redefines the V1. I am iOS captive but envy the incredible features of YaV1 and note that one can add an Android device without a data plan to benefit from YaV1.

I know the Escort Max2 has BT built in (https://www.escortradar.com/passportmax2/) so it no longer requires the EL smartcord, but in order to use the EL app (Android or iOS) with the RL (https://www.escortradar.com/redline/) one must use an EL smartcord or like connection for hardwired (https://www.escortradar.com/store/ESCORT-Live-iPhone/).

More info about V1 add-ons like the V!C LE may be found here: https://store.valentine1.com/store/

YaV1 and SA both imitate Savvy (for quieting the detector at set speeds) while the V1 apps for Android and iOS allow performance improvements like segmenting the detector to increase range and limiting false alerts which one can also do with the RL but not the Max.

For help with CMs, I use https://www.rdforum.org/forum.php and http://escortradarforum.com/forums/index.php
