I’m certainly not an expert but I’ve messed with this mirror quite a bit before as has @CT_AZ_4x4 and if I’m not mistaken, you disconnect the little Tesla connector on the drivers side of the inside of the FSD camera housing and then the small little black male part plugs in there.Hi everyone, new member here. Sorry for bringing this old thread back up, but I just received my mirror 2 days ago and my truck is in 100 prices while I'm dumb founded as to how this harness is supposed to connect and where. I've reached out to tesstudio via their 3 Whatsapp phone#s and no reply yet. The plugs on this harness don't match the previous harnesses nor they match anything near the mirror itself and has a very short pigtail to the screen. I'm about to lose it.![]()

The native tesla male you took out of it then goes to the other end of that short cable. So you’re basically interposing that short cable into the Tesla connector.
The round bit then replaces the old camera connector from the previous now defunct harness that was powered off the passenger footwell rather than the power source inside the FSD camera housing as is now the case. That version of the harness had too many problems apparently and they revised it. Not sure if you have it or not because yours does look like an older kit. The camera shape you have got dropped in favoring one that comes in its own aerodynamic “housing”.
So really, there is only one cable that physically will fit those round connectors and you can’t get it wrong because there is both a male and female end.
The rest of the harness then connects to what goes to the passenger footwell. The important part is knowing where to put the little short cable and after that the rest should be self explanatory.
happy to help any way I can if you post some pics of what you’re up against but can’t guarantee my “help” will be helpful.
Lastly, from experience, you’re make likely to get help from tesstudio on the WhatsApp after sales line than here.
The guy who used to frequent here Kai was fired I believe.
The last WhatsApp contact I have for their aftersales people is:
+1 (626) 412-7352
No idea if that still works
