    As someone who has been working with electronics for close to 40 years now, I found radar Bob's attention to detail both accurate and refreshing. Mentioning such details as the add a circuit kit and direct wire cord proof of his expertise. I turalso liked that he admonished the user to turn the detector off if it direct wired and does not go through the ignition on/off key switch.

    @matthewfoss4559 9 років тому

    I've been pulled over twice by cops over the last few months who saw the cord from my radar detector dangling down across my windshield. Once claimed it was "obstructing my view" (the cord was a foot away from the driver's seat) and the other gave me some nonsense about radar detectors being illegal (they're not). This video is definitely helpful in making my device less obvious. I'm a bit concerned now as many cops are using more advanced radar guns to watch us, using technology that our detectors can't sense. Have newer models of radar detectors adapted to this?

    Thankfully, I was able to hardwire a dash cam and detector by just using 2 MirrorTap cables to tap into the rain sensor connector. All of it is on a 5A circuit that runs the overhead electronics, in my BMW. Didn't have to run a bunch of wire around the car and it is easily removable, should I have to sell the vehicle. Of course, I also did load testing, to make sure the 3rd party components didn't put the load anywhere near 5A.
