Hey guys, this weekend I installed my new radar detector in my 2011 Kia Optima and wanted to hardwire it to turn off and on with the car. After doing some research on what everyone else is doing, there wasn't any write ups on it nor did anyone really say where they had done it (at least that I...

I currently have the Valentine 1 but it rarely goes off when i see cops:cry: I see them using Lasers all the time around here. I was wondering if anyone has radar detectors and if they work around your area. Worst $400 spent EVER! Also does anyone know what the deal with Laser Jammers? Are they...

Is it possible to power a radar detector with the mirror's power source? I have a feeling all I'm going to find is a thin short harness connected to the mirror, making it hard to splice.

I recently purchased a radar detector and it did not come with a mount so I made my own. Cost me nothing to make. I used a reflector that came off the back of a seat of a bike and a piece of metal that i cut close to match the stock slot on the detector Sent from AutoGuide.com Free App

I've installed a rear view mirror bracket and now want to do the wiring through the overhead console. From what I can tell there are two screws holding the console in but after I removed them the console doesn't drop easily and I don't want to use force for fear of breaking something. The...

Does anyone have some good suggestions on where I can mount the radar antenna and the control module for an Escort Passport 8500Ci that I'm buying? Since the front grill on the SX doesn't have slits, I'm actually considering mounting the antenna below the front air dam. If anyone has pictures of...

The Blendmount radar detector mount has a kit where you tap off the dimming mirror. Was wondering if it would work with our cars? It has a wire with two plug in cables but theres nothing to plug them into behind the mirror. Is there something under the black plastic on the windshield to tap...

needing to add a radar detector to the SX. Wanted to see some pics of your set up. :)

Hey guys, I want to hardwire my radar detector onto the moodlight and/or sunroof. I unscrewed the two screwed inside the sunglasses holder, and what to do next? How do I open it? I don't want to break anything so I'm here for some help. Also, how do you open the left side panel by the fuse...

This seems to be a popular subject so I figured I'd start a how-to thread. I used a Blendmount attachment (found on Amazon) to mount the detector under the rear-view mirror and an Escort SmartCord (also on Amazon) that provides power to the detector as well as lights and a mute button. The...

Hi guys, I have two stupid questions to ask you guys, I'm no expert, I need help to hardwire my radar all the from the top, I got the wire to the front dash, but where do we go from there? Everything seems locked in place, am I suppose to take off dash? My second question is where exactly is...

Forgot to take pics of the wiring, but very simple. I routed the wire along the black weather strip up to the top left corner of the windshield (seen in pic). I used a fuse tap from Autozone, like this: It's plugged into the very top right 20a fuse, which is listed as a Spare . This...

Sorry I don't have better pics of the process but this was about the best possible place I could find to put it. I wanted it where it is as it was the easiest to reach when driving plus it wasn't up high where it could be an eye-sore. The hardest part was all the time I spent making sure it...

Recently traded in my 2010 Forte Koup for my new 2011 Optima LX with tech package. Previously had my Escort radar detector hardwired in with the connection to the detector, coming up through the fake sun sensor on the dash. Had easily run power and ground off of the wiring to the aux power...
