The other thing is, I installed the detector and mirror tap on my daughter's M340iX and not my F95. There is a sensor and led in the mirror for the alarm function so even though parts of the mirror are inactive while in sleep mode ... like the garage door buttons, the main 12 volt leads might still have power which is probably why Kies Motorpsorts video shows him splitting the leads between 2 connectors (top and bottom).

If this is true, then that might be my ultimate issue bc I park in a parking garage in NYC and they tend to leave the key in the car so that would mean the radar will never shut off or i'll do some serious battery draining on some level. I'm currently unplugging it before i pass the car for parking to the attendant. This might have to be my way of life moving forward then. Not the worst thing in the world.
I'll report back after the weekend on what the results are after checking the taps again.
