I did the same and tapped into fuse #36.I usually run mine down the pillar to the fuse panel and use a fuse tap on an 12v ignition on source.
they still work, but now with instant on technology in radars once that detector goes off they already have you. Its not like years ago when they had to leave it on or leave it off so you could get the signal a mile down the road and know to slow down.Do radar detectors still even work? Why not just use WAZE, much more accurate.
Cool, I'd be interested in that.Thanks for the link. I will be using the Mirror Tap method, just wanted to know if someone else has done so and which connector/wire were used for ignition on/off; otherwise, I can post my install if I'm the first one...

Since very few still use radar detectors, and cops are human and lazy just like the rest of us,they still work, but now with instant on technology in radars once that detector goes off they already have you.

Here in my area, they tend to not run radar at all, but will occasionally hit the instant on. Very rarely do I have one just driving with it on or parked with it on.Since very few still use radar detectors, and cops are human and lazy just like the rest of us,
they now drive around with the radar on pretty much all the time, at least in central/northern jersey.
Once ina while they try to get sneeky with instant on, but they always pick the exact same spot, so you know to
watch out for those spots. Luckily for those who actually drive and pay attention, the rest of the drivers
are so inattentive and clueless, cops don't have to work too hard to get ticket quotas.
I just hardwired into the same fuse that my Blackvue camera is wired into. It is switched power.Has anyone done the mirror mount yet? I have purchased a Blendmount and want to wire it to the mirror and was wondering if anyone knows which is power and which is negative. And yes, they still use radar here in Georgia. A lot! I have Waze and that isn't always accurate and with the new cell phone law, you cant touch your phone while driving. Can't even have it on your lap.
