You can do it!Just got 1 of the two mirror tap replacements and now this prong broke with much less force trying to jam it in there like the last one. I guess my only choice now is splicing...
Yep, I got this working almost a year ago, haha. Someone just happened to revive the thread.You can do it!
I've been using these for years.
You might need to put a small pick in there to make a little room on the corner so you get it started past the metal terminal from the original wire.
I have used blendmount also. But I prefer these for detector mounting. You can mount it up high on the windshield and is harder for thieves to see. I dont know if they make for your detector though.

Lol yup!Wow a year to the day! LOL!
You could get a hardwire kit, run it under the headliner, stuff it down the passenger a pillar and down into the fuse box. Pretty simple and doesn't take long to do.Does anyone know of a better solution than trying to jam the prongs in? I know that some companies will ship wires with little connectors on the end that allows you to easily tap into another wire, but I'm not quite sure if I could find this locally.
Really would like to not spend 3-4 hours on this like I did last year and just get this working so I can move on to the next thing.
Do you know if any local stores would sell it or if it's just one of those things you'd find online? I know I could check this too, lol.You could get a hardwire kit, run it under the headliner, stuff it down the passenger a pillar and down into the fuse box.

Mine worked fine with my escort 8500.two questions on this older thread; do you guys have to disconnect the current wiring and plastic harness for that wiring to hard wire your RD and install the mirror tap?
i have the mirror tap and a blend mount in hand. there doesnt seem to be enough room for the blend mount to sit far enough back with the factory wires and harness as is. if that makes sense.
