Do you have free range moving the mirror? I tried to use one of my old Blendmounts. It worked as long as I didn't want to adjust the mirror (let my wife drive).

There is a battery below the 12v cigarette lighter socket on the right in the trunk. That is the best place to wire it from.
My solution for Uniden R7
I specifically stayed away because the Lucid techs specifically told me not to mess with the mirror and electronics there, so they told me not to mirror tap
I'm just telling you what the technicians told me. The cameras are there behind the mirror as well as the dimming system and various other computers and sensors
Definitely a frustrating process. I do have a spray paint can top that’s jammed in between. I’m trying to hold the white connector with one hand while trying to insert these pins with the right hand. I’m having a hard time jamming the pins alongside the existing red and black wires. Did anybody disconnect the green connector in the back of the white connector to try to get more mobility and attaching these wires? Any tricks in
jamming these wires alongside. I’m trying to use a plier to hold onto the white piece and then use my right hand to jam the wire in alongside of it but I’m having difficulty in doing it.
Was able to get it to plug in but couldn’t put together the housing back together to lock into place. And in fiddling around with it the wire tap got dislodged. Going to abandon the wire tap route. Now have to figure out how to get the housing back together without making a service appointment. Getting some resistance in pushing the middle back up. I did seat the white connecter back in that seat as shown in the pictures here.

I just bought the Escort Maxcam 360 but having a hard time finding someone to install here in south east Florida . Have the windshield issues been resolved on the 2023 Grand Touring models?

Great Job! No windshield issues? Did you have the tap done?

Please let me know how you did it, as I am having a hard time finding anyone to do it.
Hi @Bobc34, sorry for the delay - I just remembered that I saw an email notification on this thread...
As far as your questions: Yes, I have a '22 AGT, and no issues with the windshield. I also have the 360 Maxcam, and it works great!
For the tap - yes, I did the mirror tap. The toughest part was determining how the upper pieces clip into place, but once that is figured out, it's all downhill if you know what you're doing. You want to look at the green/white clip, and probe with a voltage meter. Cars can and do change, particularly/probably in a small production car, such Lucids... so always keep in mind that you're doing this at your own risk!
Here is where I have the mirrortap connected. IIRC, the MT I used with the 360 was the MT-4015, and the Blendtech mount I used as the BMG-3014, although one of the set screws that comes with it has to be opened up almost to the last thread, so it's a tight squeeze. Someone in a DM suggested picking up a longer bolt from Home Depot for less than a dollar, and it worked like a charm. The rearview mirror post is just a funky size and can be a bit odd to mount to.

I'm interested as well.
