Review on 🚀 High-performance HardTap HT-1096 Radar Detector Hardwire Kit - Power Cord with Inline Fuse, RJ11, 8ft Length by Michael Radhakrishnan

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Quality but not for the average user

This product, despite the relative ease of use of other MirrorTap products, is not intended for easy installation by the average person with minimal automotive experience. I attempted to install this cable myself for my Uniden R3 radar detector on my 2018 Honda CR-V EX after spending a few weeks researching how to remove the required interior panels where I might expect ground studs. e.g. how to find auxiliary wires etc. The only reward for my efforts was several hours of difficulty and frustration when I found that I lacked the tools to install the ground wire to the ground stud and I didn't have the required 12v wires without fear of electric shock. Мои проблемы отчасти были связаны с тем, что я не был должным образом подготовлен к задаче установки этого продукта, но маркировка на упаковке заставила меня поверить, что это будет умеренно сложная/неудобная задача, одна трудная, но, возможно, выполнимая для новичка-воздильщика - not so. If you are planning to spend more than $100 to have this product professionally installed (such as by Best Buy) or if you have experience doing similar work on your vehicle, this product probably isn't for you. I'll probably be returning the cable and have to deal with the inconvenient cable that came with my R3.
