Hardwiring Radar Detectors - Page 2

Tachyon · 02-06-2016, 10:55 AM

I have my detector on a Blendmount under the mirror using their Mirrortap cord.

Sadly, I ran out of battery in my multimeter before I found switched 12V. But I did find always on 12V. Red with a white stripe is +12V and black is ground.

If someone else finds switched +12V I'm interested in knowing that. Suppose I oughta just get a new battery for my multimeter and get to finding it.

If I have some time today, I will rip it apart and see whats going on in there.

Pulled out my overhead console in the 2SS, so this may not work for your car, if you use the PU/W color wire from the rear connector, that wire is switched, here are some pics.

Yep, that's the one, and the black for ground. Works perfectly for my dash cam.
Thanks Ofer.

Thank you 2SSRS@Gen5diy! I used this to hard wire my radar detector this morning. I posted a quick guide with more details here:

This info was so helpful. I didn't feel comfortable tapping into the ECM for switched power. I didn't even have to cut into the purple / white wire. I tinned the end of the stripped wife with solder, press fit it, and zip tied it to the purple wire.

For those removing the over head console, do not pry at the edge close to the windshield. There are tabs that slide into the head liner. The clips to remove the piece are toward the back of the car and are closest to you when you're sitting in the seat.

Thanks everyone for the tips and tricks! I was successful in mounting the Max360 in record time. Works like a champ. Now it's time to program the detector and go for a cruise.

Million points if someone can tell me how to get the overhead console out of a 'vert.

So we are going to make a new harness that will be plug and play and have the connector that plugs in to the Radar Detectors.
