Yep, now if I have XM on or local radio I either won't get an alert at all or it will alert me and switch over to apple carplay and not go back to radio.

How To Hardwire your radar detector by Tejesh83

Ugh, this stinks... I love listening to XM! For me if on XM it will never play alert or switch over.....

But with WAZE it does switch over from XM, but will stay in Bluetooth/iPod mode! I have to then manually change back to XM! Wtf... Does your WAZE alerts switch back to XM?

Edit-

Sorry for thread jacking OP!! I will move this into a new thread!

Mylink•iPh/droid Nav apps voice alerts?!

So would this be feasible if I wanted to mount a go pro there? It draws power using a micro usb if my memory is correct. How would I go about tapping in with that? Mirror tap wouldn't work for me as I can't use the phone line piece that radar detectors use.

Would I have to use something like this?

Would this one from Amazon work? http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01AYS...aSL&ref=plSrch
It looks like it would for me, but I am pretty new at this.

Same question here, since I've already tapped mirror for my radar, where can I mount/hardwire a dashcam?

Last week I got me a dash cam and a hardwire kit. Sadly I ordered the wrong hardwire kit for it which I returned to Amazon and ordered it directly from the guys who make the hardwire kit. It will be here Monday. My dash cam has a micro USB and the Fuse part of the hardwire kit, I have no idea so I contacted thedashcamstore and they looked it up in their system and sent me the correct one. I will post it up once I get it and actually confirm it's correct. The camera is actually TINY which works perfect as I hate clutter. Even the blendmount + radar detector bothers me lol. The dash cam will be mounted behind the rearview mirror towards the passenger side so I won't even see it. It has a suction cup with it so it'll be good. I have an awesome car cruise coming up 1200+ miles Friday so I will test out the dash cam before that and post a link of the video as well.

Here is the hardwire kit: http://thedashcamstore.com/universal...tallation-kit/

Here is my camera: http://www.amazon.com/Wirecutters-Z-...=AV07WFH1V5VEQ

Sure thing, I am dying to see how it will turn up haha. If only Chevy actually gave the 2016 models PDR... Would've gotten it in a heartbeat! I will post a link here once I do the write up. It'll be a while as the real test will be done on my 1200+ mile road trip! Unboxing and all, the product seems legit but I haven't recorded anything. It's literally the same size as a regular business card but thicker but not much thicker than my cell phone (droid turbo).

I don't know if I will make 2 separate threads for my review as I already have a build thread going so I may just post it there and just post links to other threads that wonder haha. Here is my build thread:

So the Black and Red wire goes into the airbag wiring right?

Which wire on the airbag wiring does the Red wire go to? Also same with the Black wire?

I plan on buying this...

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

to hook up a dash cam.

Huh? Airbag???? Not sure where you got that. Wire red to Purple/White, and black to black in the overhead console..
Those are switched 12V which you are converting to 5V Micro with that adapter.
That part looks good, and What I ordered.

So, I had success. I followed this guide and received power to my mounted GoPro. I have it set up to loop record videos.

One problem I didn't consider is that the GoPro will not auto turn on when I power the car on, but it will auto turn off. So, if i want to continue to use the GoPro, I will have to press the record button upon getting in every time which is frustrating. I guess I will need to buy another camera unless anyone has suggestions.
