Hardwiring Valentine 1 to 2012 G37 Sedan

has anyone had any success on doing this?? I had an invisicord leftover from my g35 coupe however I couldn't get the prongs to fit into the back of the mirror.....I figured I would need the skinnier ones.....Does anyone have any advice?? which one did you order to have this accomplished. Tired of my cord hanging across the whole dash from the center console.

Mine is hardwired. You need the smaller blades. They are very inexpensive. I can't stand coiled wire hanging from unit. Do you have a mount? If not I have a few suggestions.

How do you mute your detector? Do you just reach up and hit the button?

Here is my cheap ebay mount (under $30) and cheap $10 inviscord want to be with my V1.

Never had any issue. Screws have stayed tight.
