Looking for guidance in order to tap into power for my Valentine One. Ideally I’d like to tap into power from either the mirror or upper console. Can someone kindly point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance…

Radar Detector Mirror Wiring
Anyone tapped into the wiring above the mirror to power a radar detector on a 2018 yet? I’ve got a mirror tap Ive used on previous vehicles, but my tester can’t get into the small plugs to be able to test for power and ground and I don’t want to risk blowing a fuse just guessing.

Outstanding! Thank you!
Save you some headache cutting the factory plugs, also the wires are pretty low amperage. It was gravy for me to run a lead down to the right footwell there is a fuse panel there. Way quicker and better option. I am always hesitant to cut factory wiring especially under warranty.

No need for cutting factory plugs, link above provides great instructions for tapping into power at the mirror. Very convenient, easy, and clean install.
Having said that, I'm glad you are happy with the method you chose. I might be going that route in the future for dashcam with battery backup.
Agreed. if just radar then the harness plug works good. For Dashcam always best to have the yellow and red wires.
