Hi Tristan,

Very interested in your solution, I'm keen to improve the rear visibility but am quite new at modding things myself, though enthusiastic , what part of the UK are you in?

Hi Tristan, really like your solution . Im new to modding things (apart from vineyard kit ), would be very interested in some more information / pictures / general advice. Im in the UK, SE, guessing you are further afield, I'd be really keen for a chat if you had time?

Anyway, any information appreciated

I'm in Herefordshire.

I didn't take any pictures while I was installing but I'll take a few this weekend.

Do you want constant power available for the mirror in Park mode? Or do you plan to flip the switch, or not use this feature?

I only wanted it as a rear view mirror - not too interested in the parking camera feature so don't need permanent power. The feeds to the 10a switches are all live when ignition is on so good enough for me. If permanent power was wanted I suspect you could get it form the ecall unit which is mounted just above the roof switch console.

Ordered my G900 today. Added 33' video cable to ensure I had plenty of length to run through inside of rear door where I will mount. 25% off if you purchase $250 or more direct on their site, free shipping in the US. I will appreciate the development of the ball mount for ineos with ADAS front-end, that is my ultimate direction. Will get everything else lined up and installed as we all wait for innovation to happen on that front

Should take ownership of the IG in about 10 days

Mine arrived today. I also got the extension and will do a inside rear camera install. The mount will make a huge difference in quality of install so I may wait. Also want to see a few more installs to decide on where to pull power. I think I'll either do one of the driver side 10A 12V socket fuses (FC 21 or 23) with a fuse tap, or in the rear seat at the fuses for the footwell power (FI 29 or 30). I don't feel like fiddling with the overhead console. While it would be perfect for wire routing, the recent recall for wire pinching there gives me pause about messing with it.

Enjoy! I ran it to a 2x12v + 3xUSB socket mounted under the passenger seat. That way I can power a phone charger etc all from the one switch.

There is of course another switch that powers them even when the ignition is off, so you have that option too.

I switched to footwell power. Unfortunately, I still have to flick the Internal 2 switch. No power unless I do that. Maybe UK and US wiring are different? No worries. Still have cleaner installation, having gotten rid of the wire to the center cubby.

Me too, though rather than switching it on and off all the time so I just leave the overhead switch on. Those switches are only (normally) powered when the ignition is on anyway.

I ordered these ball mount adapters from Amazon. Waiting until they arrive to install my 900

These look very promising. So you ordered the wolf adapter and you’ll chuck the arm that attaches to the windscreen and use and adapter with the remaining plate to attach to the fixed ball ….. I like it.

Exactly. I ordered all kinds of parts from Wolf, as I took this opportunity to buy a dozen or so of the 900s to put on our work fleet.
Insurance company has been after me for dash cameras and gps on the crew trucks and we already had gps units installed. I took advantage of the sale that Wolf was having.

22mm to 17mm adapter

I know the Wolfbox is 22.5mm and @Jean Mercier posted he thought the IG mirror ball was 17mm (consistent with EU vehicles). I’m hoping this adapter is a perfect solution!

Regarding the IG mirror - is there an easy way to release it? Or just pull/pry it off?

Awesome. Let’s us all know specifically what size fits. Bonus points if you post a 30-60s how to video for mounting thank you for your leadership on this topic!

Thank you very much Tristan, much appreciated.

That is great Jean! However, MY24 trucks have a different mirror stalk and and I would like to remove the mirror only.

I think I’ll try prying it off tomorrow.

I ordered these ball mount adapters from AliExpress. They have arrived and fit the Wolfbox backing plate. I have removed the original mirror but need to work out how to separate the ball from the mirror. I think it may just be a case of removing the steel split ring and then using force but would like to know if anyone has already successfully separated the two parts.

That is my question as well, but we get a different mirror mount for NA MY24 trucks. I had a spare Subaru mirror laying around and it simply pulled apart.

 

[Asnes]

I ended up ordering the wolfbox mount and then these ball size adapters as cited above. I’ll take the arm of the mount, fit a close enough sized ball adapter and stick all the legos together… hopefully this is to mount in the OEM ball mount behind ADAS camera.

Will take receipt of my IG in 1 week on Saturday Feb 3

This adapter doesn’t work. Its 22mm ball is too loose when installed in the Wolfbox 22.5mm socket. I experimented with shims but the neat solution seems to be an external rubber tube.

I’m kinda tired of messing with it. I think I will use Wolfbox’s standard rubber straps over the factory mirror.

67 designs is soon to release an adapter for the factory mirror mount to Wolfbox mirror. Their CEO has been keeping me updated on this - he sent an alpha/beta version of this mount to Brian at Goose Gear to test for him (since Sewell, their local Ineos dealer probably didn't want them removing the OEM mirror from a customer's vehicle). They have already received feedback from Brian on the fit and are making some last adjustments to the design. Have patience and stay tuned for some good news shortly.
