That's when all of my electronics started acting up, when I was leaving the tint shop. So, it may not have been the radar detector install. Everything is fine, now, but it was messed up for a few days.
I do know you cannot hardwire a radar detector to a C8 Corvette mirror, thats giving people all kinds of problems, so, its possible.

Interesting…I read up on the C8 issues and talked to Blendmount about it when I was asking about my situation. They said it was due to incorrect wire placement causing the issue.

OK, that makes sense. Which also brings up the question, what wires did they tap? Usually shops that install their own stuff, they don't go looking for youtube videos on how to wire a radar detector, they get in there with a voltmeter and find a 12v wire. I'm willing to bet they tapped the wrong wires.

Maybe they had to calibrate after pickup? Maybe it was set to low and wasn't picking up cars?

He said he followed the instructions from this thread, but you never really know.

The only way to know is to take it back apart to see if its hooked up, correctly, if it's still causing problems.

Finally spent some time to get the trim off and do the mirrortap. Wasn't as straightforward as in the video but removed them without damage with some patience and trim tools. Thanks to Limegrntaln for the idea to use the needle nose, I was able to use them to remove the plug and tap the leads without issue.

Does anybody have a link to the blend mount please? I have the escort max 360c. I'm also hearing that the blend mount does rattle. Is it worth spending over $100 for this piece?

You have to go to their website and put in your make and model, to determine which rear view mirror you have. They list 3 different options, depending on what packages you have ordered with your car. https://blendmount.com/radar-detecto...RoCIl8QAvD_BwE

Edit: Also, it's not the mount to the mirror that's rattling, it's the connection to the R8. All I have to do is barely touch the R8 and the rattle goes away.

Thanks so much for this thread! I am all installed. Looks good, works great.
The hardest part was splitting the plastic cover. Well, that and making my size 11 hands fit in a tight place. Very helpful and highly recommend installing your radar detector with blend mount. |

If I do a mirror tap is it removable/reversible? I have a 23 coming in soon but would like to do this. Thoughts?

It's hard to articulate, but it couldn't be more reversible

Worst case scenario, you just won't get power. It's not going to mess anything up, unless you completely ground something out. I would say if the wiring color is the same, it's probably a safe bet, that nothing has changed.
