Does anyone have pictures and steps of how to hardwire a radar detector. I have the escort max 2 and it's in the dash and I want to put it up by the rear view mirror? Thanks

 

I have it mounted using a rear mirror bracket with wiring tucked under headliner and a-pillar panels and plugged into the fusebox, took less than an hour for the whole thing but you have to have a few parts such as a plug for the fusebox unless you want to make your own. Some people also splice into the rearview mirror wires to get power.

 

Could you send a picture thanks

 

Get a Blendmount & a 6-8" Invisacord. Takes 5 minutes. I don't know why people want to do it the hard way running to the fusebox. Look on the BM site for tons of pictures.

 

Here is my thread ...I hope it helps

This.

Cause its a more solid and reliable way of doing it, other than sticking a wire in the back of your mirror...

 

Well, I disagree. The cord comes with metal blades that wedge tightly in the back of the plug. It is not visible. I hang a parking pass over the mount monthly & have never dislodged any wires. If you haven't seen this configuration in person, don't disregard it.

 

I've done both.


It's preference.

I like the hard wire route

 

I have 2 cords to do: an Escort Max 2 and Blackvue dash cam. Can I integrate two into one add a circuit. Both will have fuses in the wiring.

 

^^Neither device draws any significant amount of current. Both should be fine on a 5amp circuit, or even a 3amp circuit.

 

Shouldn't be a problem. Just make sure you don't try to pull more current than the wire and fuse are rated for.

 

Cool thanks!!! Is there an open slot on the fuse board that I can use other than the audio/ mirror?

 

You can run an add a fuse to the "socket" fuse, which is the power outlets. That's where I've got my dashcam running with a 5A fuse.
