- Today I'll be showing you the process of hardwiring in my valentine one radar detector. This method requires no soldering or wire splicing! Super easy! I got this off of amazon for about $40 bucks. It was a little pricey, but well worth the money! If you have any questions feel free to ask!

Fantastic tutorial! Thank you so much!
Just what I needed, thank you!
Watched your video and it was very helpful in figuring out how to get things apart and which wires you tapped into. I installed a radar detector in my 2009 328i xdrive today. I didn't care for those push in terminals and wound up soldering a couple of taps for the power cord. Everything worked out well and the car didn't throw any codes. Thanks for posting!
Glad you found the video helpful! Thank you for the support!
WHOOOA THAT NEW INTRO!!
Thanks man!
Hey JD, thanks for the video, I am looking to hardwire my dashcam to my F10, and was not looking forward to pulling a wire all the way to the trunk to tap off the battery. This video gave my the inspiration for tapping off the cabin lights to a circuit that's always on. Thanks for the idea, I hope to start making a few video like yourself. Take care.
Good idea! Glad to be of help!
Yo Jd Helpful video been looking for a video for my radar! 👍
Glad to help!
I bought the cheap, 15” three-pack from Amazon and they were a few inches too short for my e90. I couldn’t mount my radar detector where I wanted to and it didn’t level out correctly. I will try out the kit you used but in 20”. The excess can always be tucked.
Great Video, I was just thinking about doing this on my e90!
Go for it! It's a huge improvement!
Get the long kit if you do this. I got the mid length one and I'll barely have room to put it in between the headliner and mirror
A best video on how to wire into the dome light power.
Glad you like it!
Glad you liked it!
Really liking that new intro! Have fun avoiding the MSP lmao
YOLO!! Hahaha jk I gave credit in the description.
Thanks for the help mate really help saved me running wires to the fuse box
Glad to be of help!!
Can you tell me, when your detector was center mounted, what held it to the windshield and when you moved closer to the visor, what method are you using. Thanks. Good JOB!
i was thinking of doing the same on my car but after i've researched a little bit it seems that you will have some faults when you scan you can interface. On bmw you can't simply hardwire what you want when you want because all the current is measured and if you have a big drainage then the car will know and give you a warning ... Nice video though ;) And my single variant is tapping directly on the battery in the trunk and after that routing the cable to the front of the car. Thumbs up for the clean instal ;)
Routing a wire to the front is A LOT more work. I have yet to experience any fault codes. The Valentine One draws pretty low current. Thank you though!
Nice new intro
Thanks, I made it a bit shorter...the old one was a tad long hahaha
great intro ;)
Thanks man!
Great video. Really helpful. Any reason you wired to the console in the roof instead of the mirror?
Glad you found it helpful! It was simply more convenient.
I noticed you tapped into the wire from the car. Can you do the same thing but with the wire from the connector of the accessory.
so do you plug in the taps in a space thats open after checking with your meter? or do u stick it in along with the wire you confirmed is good to tap in to?
You should confirm voltage with the meter first
Any problems when both the radar detector and overhead console lights are on? Im thinking of wiring my Escort like this. Thanks
Nope... zero problems so far!
You should buy an older bmw (1994 325i$) and do the same things!!! Make it look new and updated!
I've thought about it... that would be fun to do a drift car build.
Love the new intro but i miss the old one
Thanks hahaha, but the old one was a bit long
I cannot find a suitable wire in an E63. For example, the passenger airbag sensor seems to be a good choice. However the voltage starts at 11.xV then drops to 3.6v and stay there. Any suggestion?
I would not mess with the airbag sensor. Try the cigarette lighter socket.
Hey your stock wheels look good, are they plasti dipped? or sprayed with another brand
Tony Mendoza Plasti dipped, it's a good inexpensive solution if you want black wheels!
Will the DC plug work with a Cobra XRS 9445?
Yes it should
that green/white wire isnt working for me. Is there any other wire in that bundle that will work as well?
I stopped searching after I found that one to work...and I'm not sure of any others that work. I suggest you use a voltmeter to locate another wire that will work.
Great video. Did you just use a standard windshield suction cup mount for the radar?
Yup! Thank you!
Jd cars hey nice intro , i have question , does your car have tweeters from factory ? Im asking you because mine doesn't so im looking for a piece that has tweeters or the hole for the tweeter inside , PLEASE IT WILL HELP ME A LOT IF WE CAN TALK IN PRIVATE TO SEND YOU PICTURES , btw i watch you from Perú!
I'm honestly not sure if my sound package has tweeters, but I have the base sound system (not logic 7).
Jd cars can we talk in private please? I have a lot of questions
Sure! Send me a private message!
JD Cars how i send you private messages?
GUM Go to my channel and click "About" then click the send message button.
I tried removing the console and it would not pop out, but I also have a SOS button on the left of the sunroof button. Does that change anything
That does not change anything...it can just be difficult sometimes.
Did you use the 15 or 20 inch connector?
I believe I got away with the 15inch
Thanks bro. Dropped a like & sub, I also have a V1 & e90 lol.
Hey man sick video. Btw, if you didn't see it, thank you for commenting on my video comparing the 328i to the 335i. (The comment got put in likely spam and I saw it just now) That really meant a lot to me, bc I've been getting some hate on the video from 335 fanboys. BUT IM NOT TAKIN THAT BITCH DOWN LOL.
Hahaha exactly! Keep up the good work man!
where do you bought the radar?
Natsu A. Senpai Amazon
It is called the Valentine One
How's the detector working? 40 bucks for a good radar detector is actually really cheap. Do you have any reasonable guess on how far away it can pick up a signal from? Yeah I do stupid shit lol I want as much time as possible to slow down before getting to the cop it's detecting
This one was not 40 bucks... but its working great! Has close to a mile range.
Oh I must have misread the description haha. I was about to say shut up and take my money
valentine 1 is about $400.00
Why not tap into the mirror?
Just preference
What is a radar detector?
Are you down lol
Hahahaha
