Fits Uniden R3

Looks like a well made cable. Perfect length to access fuses under the glove box on a Focus ST (and probably all other Focuses). The cost of materials is probably part of the price, but I recommend.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Clarity

Perfect mount for Escort 9500ix radar detector

I used this kit to install a fixed mirror mount cable for my Escort 9500iX detector in a Land Rover Range Rover L322. Everything you need in one package. Good quality fuse connector.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Some issues

Good quality on radar detectors

Good quality but better for the price! Most of the cable is flat and can easily be hidden behind the sheath. The tip that connects to the RD is very good and should last a long time. I used this kit with Add-a-Circuit to attach my RD to the fuse box. I would recommend this to everyone. I would buy this again.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

Quality cable with low voltage drop is very important!

Absolutely worth the price! . I made the mistake of purchasing a cheaper product which resulted in low voltage on my Beltronics radar detector and intermittent operation. It was a waste of time and money. Spend the more and get a quality product. The voltage drop is minimal with this cable.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

RJ11 Detector Wiring Kit

Installation on my 2006 BMW 330i (non auto dimming mirror) took 30 minutes including cleaning the anti-seize bolt where I was grounded. I lowered the headliner in the front. , pulled out the dome light assembly, routed the wire, installed the ground lug on the frame bolt, used the vampire clamp to connect the hotline, and the rest was wire management. As easy as one can hope.

Pros
  • Absolutely Amazing!
Cons
  • Mostly fine, but...

Easy to use - good value for money

Purchased to fit the Valentine V1 Gen 2 radar detector in a 2021 Honda Insight. The wire ran easily under the edge of the headliner, then I removed the A-pillar trim to get safely away from the side airbag, then fished along the existing wiring harness to behind the dash to access the internal fuse box. I removed the hot wire connector. If you strip the wire to connect to the compression connector, add a fuse connector (sold separately) to connect to the fuse panel. A ground wire connected to a

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Long delivery time

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…

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Available in white only

  • Available in 8ft lengths, we've made the last few feet - the portion that's exposed in your ride - look like a factory with a tight black protective sleeve.

Quality, but not for the average person

Experience on your vehicle despite the relative ease of use of other MirrorTap products. removing the necessary interior panels, figuring out where the ground studs need to be, where to find the auxiliary wires, etc. The only reward for my efforts was several hours of toil and frustration when I found I lacked the tools to install the floor. Wire to ground stud and I couldn't find the required 12v wires without fear of electrocution. Product but the labeling on the box led me to believe this…
