I had a 2016 and wired it like this thread talks about with no problems.
but my 2016 got totalled a couple of weeks ago and I bought a 2019.
the 2019 wiring is different in the upper map light area. So I removed the console and tapped the power from the power port on the console. Worked perfect and honestly easier to get your hands in there to do it.

Anyone have a wiring schematic for 2019 models to identify which wire is the switched power for airbag light? As mentioned above the IS NO purple/white wire on 2019.

Finally gave up and lifted the center console (6 bolts). Having done both now, I can say it was 1,000 times easier doing the center console than the overhead. Should have done that to start with.

I now have the detector on switched power.

Same here 2019 ZL1. I just broke down and probed the wires. I used the Passenger Map Light since I was getting mixed reviews about using the Yellow Airbag Wire on the Center Connector Tab.

On the Map Light:
BLACK is GROUND and the WHITE w/Brown Stripe provides the POSITIVE 12V.

How did you route the power to the detector?

i ended up doing this, too.
i tried at the overhead light, then down at the control box in passenger footwell.
the reasonably accessible ones would shut off my detector (uniden R3) when there was wheelspin.
the console tap was easy & reliable. quite simply it was just tapping the power outlet (cigarette lighter hole).

The most difficult part was finding a switched wire near the kickpanel. Im used to a fuse box being located around there never the less, there is one.

First thing I started with was finding a good location to mount the Mute button. I found the best spot was just below the push start button under the small step there. for the cleanest install, unscrew the mute button housing, and pull the shell apart. Take care in doing so as the decal in front is attached to both sides. once apart find the location you want to attach under the step there and drill a small 1/8th hole through the top shell, and the step in the dash. If you want to remove it later, there will be no visible mark, being located under the step.






with a small screw (i used a small panhead) attach the top of the shell to the dash. put the button and bottom shell back together and replace the single screw. route the wires into the dash by the right side of the steering wheel.

the ground wire is run to where the hood release is. there is a screw holding the plastic to the subframe, remove that and put the ring of the ground wire there in between the plastic and subframe. replace screw.



for the power wire, the switched 12v one I found is the green with purple stripe wire coming out of the black connector (in the picture its the one with the purple snap connector attached)



Next run the "telephone" wire up the a-pillar on the door side. Its relatively easy to pull the weather stripping back and push the wire in. At the top of the a-pillar, push the headliner in to snake the wire to the other side of the a-pillar. lastly run the wire by way of the headliner to where ever you place your RD. Push leftover wire under the headliner.



If you have any questions let me know.
I tried this today and it was a no go for me. I used the 3M connector that came with the Direct Wire from Escort. Was that the issue or anything else I could have done wrong? Thanks!
