Review on Enhanced Radar Detector Power Cord Kit with Mirror Plug Wire Tap for Escort, Valentine One, Uniden, Beltronics - Efficient Hardwire Solution with Braided Dual Size Pins and Inline Fuse by Joseph Meola

Got my new Uniden R7 radar detector fully wired into my daily driver (add a circuit device connected to a switchable fuse, power supply + chassis ground + Uniden wiring kit with mute button, all fished out of the dash and body panels). This project required about $50 for additional wiring and significant disassembly of the car to route the wiring etc. This job took about 2 hours and was not for the faint hearted. I was planning to use the detector in my wife's long haul car (she has a better/newer car) and with this piece of wiring the installation was complete in 15 minutes! I removed the panel where the rearview mirror meets the glass, found a connector underneath with a matching set of red/brown wires, inserted small spatulas into the back of the connector and whoops! I had 12V power! It wasn't a switchable power supply (I found it was a constant circuit), but it's only for road trips and my metal detector has a "battery saver" setting (60 minutes without GPS movement and it turns off automatically), so I switched it on and called it good! I used the 2 cable ties provided to secure the new wiring to the existing wire bundle for security, added some tape for extra security and covered the 2 unused spade lugs with the plastic caps provided (to prevent shorts). I closed the lid of the car and you're done! I've hooked up a few aftermarket radios, a few CB radios, and countless 12v power supplies for radar detectors, phone chargers, cameras, and GPS units. It was MUCH the easiest wiring setup I've ever done. If you have a 12V power supply with an outlet near where you plan to mount the detector, this is an easy way to power it that is 100% removable and does not need to be plugged in. does not require cutting the factory wiring harness. Great solution!
