If you have a voltmeter check before you tap into them.

yeah I don't have one so hence trying to confirm.

Attach a paper pin on the end of the radar detectors wires and insert it into the mirror and turn on and off the car see if it works.

ordering a $10 voltmeter on Amazon right now. it'll arrive tomorrow with my mirror tap so we'll see how it goes.

that said, if anybody can confirm that the brown yellow is hot and a black is ground thanks.

I have the Uniden R3 which works well. I like the speed alert although i would prefer if the speed alert was relative to the posted speed limit similar to Waze. The Waze alert is easy to ignore. I haven't found another Android app that will do what I want.

that's very helpful, the last diagram is what is most needed. I did it a few weeks back and posted a video already though but this should help people going forward.

Yeah I thought surely you had already figured it out since your last post. This topic resurfaces on here from time to time.

I know they're probably more expensive than they should be, but I've never regretted my Blend Mount/Mirror Tap purchase.

I have a new uniden R7 for sale if anyone is interested. Shoot me a fair price is yours. I will have it on fs section this Friday or sat when I get home and I will take some pics.

Explanation since you started this thread with R3?

I had a best buy gift card that I got as a gift for $500 and decided to buy the R7 to upgrade from my R3 because of the arrow feature. That was 3 weeks ago and now I changed my mind. Sure is nice to have the arrows and few other things but the R3 is still a bad ass detector.

I rather sell the new R7 for more money than a used R3. Plus I can use the money towards some upgrades on the car.

I've been using the same old Passport 8500 for the past decade and don't even know where to begin on a new radar detector, but it still works and I know all it's quirks and behavior like it has it's own personality lol.
