Mornign gang, heading out at lunch to hard-wire my radar detector using the Mirror power....
The included instructions show a plug not of my vehicle but hey, power, ground, etc, I get it.... or do I?
3 wires total go to mirror (Looks the same as my 08 mirror, but never checked the plug)
1 black wire
1 white wire
1 green wire
So black is likely ground, that's fine, the adapter only needs power now, so, is that the WHITE wire?
((OH, here's part of the kit... http://www.mirrortap.com/ , I'm hardwiring my 8500 Passport))
Rear view mirror-POWER

Ok Skip it, I got it to work... It's constant power, but since I unplug and hide my radar detector each use, I'm not concerned.
First, while a tad pricey to mount a radar detector, I admit, this MirrorTap and http://www.blendmount.com/ kit was by far the best solution for me. It's the mount, and maybe 5 inches of wire TOTAL.... In the old '08 Path I found it easy to Velcro up close to the windshield and run the "remote" kit back to the rear view mirror but in this truck, it simply wasn't feasible and I wasn't about to start hacking away anyway.
Pics will be later, as a write up simply isn't needed. Their are ALOT of adjustments I went through to get it just right, and maybe more to come, who know's? But it was really simple otherwise... Hey, I did this on my lunch hour outside my office with enough time to walk for sushi around the bend.
