Radar Detector Hardwire Video
I did a video when I hardwired my radar detector. Found a couple threads on this forum that helped me locate +12V so thanks for that. I started poking around in the mirror and was very surprised there wasn't a switched +12V in there like my other cars.
If someone else already did one, apologies posting a dupe, but thought this might help someone in the future. |

Awesome!!! Thank you for putting the effort on making the video and posting it!
Mirror tap is definitely a good way of doing it. I prefer hardwire kit with the escort for the mute button, especially since the phone sits in the back on the wireless charger. |

Glad you guys find it helpful.
Not sure if you knew this or not, but there's a mute button on the front of the radar detector. It's a small square on the right side of the display, assuming you have a 8500 or 9500 of course. |

So if I purchase a prefabricated RJ11 cord, I just poke the leads into the harness, button it back up and go?

Yep. Those harnesses are kinda pricey to me at $30 though so if you can solder at all, you can make your own for like $2.

Awesome, thanks for the video! I need to look into getting a radar detector and or a dashcam as well. Love the way that looks mounted there; looks like a professional install.

Thanks, I just bought the same detector and a blend mount but mine is different. Didn't know they had one for Camaro. Do you have a link for that one?
Thanks soo much

I am itchin' to hard wire my Escort Max but with the added detector beneath my mirror. I would be taking away from my field of vision in my low profile Tank we drive.
I so want to, but keeping my Max low, just above the dash, gives me that much more field of vision. What to do...You did a great job showing how...what to do is the hard part. |
