  • In this video I demonstrate the installation of a universal mirror tap. These are used most commonly for radar detectors and dash cams. Keep in mind that most radars use 12 volts and most dash cams use 5 volts, so choose the right cable.

    After all that tidy work - the glass-based suction cup just seems off. Get a mirror post mounting bracket. Decent, vibration-free ones run around $40 to $50.

    Is there any reason why I shouldn't do this for both a dashcam and radar detector? Would my mirror supply enough power? My dash is starting to crash where the wires hang and I would rather route them directly to the mirror and free up some ports rather than run all around my trim. Thanks!

      The wires are secure in my installation. Maybe try bending a slight curve in the loose one to create a tighter fit.

    Radar Detector is NOT going to keep you from getting more speeding tickets. Instant On Radar will let your Radar Detector let you know you just got busted. But give it a Shot.

    • @Donslife
      @Donslife  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Always a risk as more officers use that tech, but (for me) speed camera alerts alone can save me some headache.

    • @damongalovich4115
      @damongalovich4115 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      you'd be surprised how many cops don't even use instant on radar, and radar detectors can pick up a police before they even can get your cars speed or detect you if they're using anything besides instant on, most people don't carry radar detectors so it's not really a concern.
