Connectors behind the cabin light for additional accessories?

[Dayen]

So I'm looking to see if I can add a dash cam and a auto dimming rearview mirror with the existing wiring. I took photos of the connectors up there, there is a 3 pin on the left side and then 2 connectors that are capped? or fused? I'm not sure but they are not plugged into anything. Are these usable for anything? I also looked under the mirror cowl and didn't see any free connectors.

This is for a 2024 SR with NO options and a manual transmission, I don't even have blind spot indicators on the mirrors.

That first plug with the purple wire is where I plugged my Dash Cam in. I also ordered a suction cup mount rather than sticking the adhesive mount to the windshield. I made the usb cable connection under the mirror cowling and ran the cable out left side of the mirror opening.

Yes, the uncapped one is the OEM dashcam plug. I wouldn't load it up with too many devices but a dashcam and maybe one other low power accessory should be fine.

Do you have any idea what the capped plugs on the right are for? Maybe I can use them to tap additional power or signals from the truck? I'm talking about stuff like constant 12V power, switch power, signals, etc

Not entirely sure. I don't have access to the wiring diagram anymore. My guess is they might be for the sunroof but I couldn't tell you what the pin out is and I'd suspect there isn't a constant on source.

I was looking for this. Thank you

Response from Bob at Bob's mirrors himself, so the 5 pin will definitely work for my auto dim motor, I wonder if I can use the 10 pin for anything else as well. I'm pretty sure the early SR trucks did not have any wiring up here so I'm feeling pretty lucky and appreciative that this will be plug and play
