Can I disconnect the power to the rear view mirror without losing any function other than auto dim mirrors?

I have 2024 Lariat PB and it appears the blue cruise sensors are interfering with the auto dimming side mirrors. The mirrors are auto dimmed anytime at night. It doesn't matter the lighting conditions or if any vehicles are around, I even have window tint.

If I disconnect the power supply to the rear view mirror will I lose any functions or cause other issues? I am installing a dash cam and bought a dongle splitter but if I can just disconnect the power and solve the auto dim issue and save money on the dongle it would be great.

Just unplug it to see if it jacks with anything. If so then I'm fairly certain that you could just cover the light sensor on the rearview mirror with a small dark sticker to prevent it from darkening which should also keep the side mirror from also doing so.
