Registered an account here for the sole purpose of thanking you for this guide. It took me about 5 minutes to hardwire my detector because your post is so detailed — I literally spent more time picking the exact spot for my mount and getting it perfectly straight than I did on the install. Thanks so much!
Fantastic post. Thanks! Having a Blendmount and a V1, it seems like the best location for the wire to exit, from a day to day prospective, would be just above the base of the mirror (circled red). The space is not quite as large as the headliner edge. The wire diameter is fine but the "tap" end doesn't quite fit with just pushing.
Has anyone else used this location for their wire and, if so, what tips are there for feeding the wire?
Also, my '15 GTS only has one connector under the dome lights (circled yellow). Any thoughts on whether this "other" connector will work?
where did you get the windscreen mount please? What kind of adhesive is that. I have a new V1 on its way. Gonna try hardwiring it.
Thanks.

I see you used the BlendMount with your detector. Was the 15inch RJ wire ling enough? I am using the V1 with the Blendmount. I have the 15inch RJ and I am wondering if I need the 20 inch.
Thanks

Well I decided not to wait for the 20inch. Was motivated this morning. Did the install without the blend mount. Used the suction cups for a high install.
I am no DIY guy and this was easy thanks to the great thread.
Thanks to all.
Thanks again for making this really easy, takes 15 minutes with your excellent instructions.
So far the R3 has a lot less falses than the V1 on the same drive too.
