Hey im hardwiring my radar detector and am not sure where to tap in for power. Any recommendation? I got the clip that taps into a 15ish switched gauge wire but am not sure where to find one, any recommendations? I got the cable ran all the way to the mirror from the drivers side but am afraid of tapping into the wrong cable. Thanks for the help

 

tap into the mirror if you have the compass, there is 12 volt right there

 

no compass but its an autodimming mirror. Same thing? Also is there a ground up there?

 

yes I tapped into the ground and 12v switched power. works great

 

Just get one of the 8" stealth cords, they're a sponsor and offer a discount for Driver members:

Well worth the money. I had a direct wire kit too, but ordered this to avoid the hassle of trying to tap into the wires. Took all of 2 minutes to install.

 

also search for mikes mount on here, its a mount to hold ur fuzz buster on the mirror itself, works mint and looks almost factory too.

i liked it so much i got one for my other car.

 

damn well I ended up taking it to the shop with my m25 jammer and got it all installed today. They did a pretty decent job, except for putting the switches under the steering column. One thing i noticed is that the red leds from the lights look sweet at night, maybe some color changing leds that go with my bass or something later on gonna start a thread tomorrow with some pics of the led heads and install. Had to cut slits in the bottom grill but i say its well worth it, barely noticeable to.
