Hardwire radar

I have a '16 platinum. Was wondering if there is anywhere to tap an ignition wire up on the center console for my radar detector. Anyone?

 

Rear view mirror. http://www.blendmount.com/ You can also get the mirror tap system for power. Sorry if the pics are little dark, truck is in the garage

 

Do you happen to have pics where the mirror tap plugs into the mirror harness at?

 

I will be doing this next week. Will post pictures. 2017

 

Light blue switched 12V+
White w black stripe Ground

check with multi meter before you use though.

2016 Tundra Platinum

Mine works great, and looks great!

 

Should be good then. Thanks.

 

And those are from the harness on the windshield not the mirror. You'll see what i mean when you pull off the plastic covering the wires.

 

Not sure what you mean but I think I’m good. Thanks anyway.

 

I didn't take pictures, its hard to explain without seeing it. There is a harness on the windshield and a harness on the back of the mirror. I used the harness on the windshield to tap into.

 

Isn’t my picture clear? Oops. Different thread.

@louscrw or anybody else w the blendmount. Which mount do we need for the 3rd gen? There’s so many options on their site.

 

The 2000R mount from blendmount.

 

These are the options when I select tundra

 

This is the 2000R mount I used with a escort max 360.

Just pick the brand of radar you want to use, the 2000R fit my 2016 Tundra perfect.

 

On backorder for the Uniden R3...will go old school until the mount arrives.

 

I know you didn't ask my opinion but 30 years of writing speeding tickets .My radar worked a few seconds faster than a citizens. So say my locks in 50 in a 30 a few seconds later the target vehicle then nose dives after getting my signal. Radar detectors don't work if the LE knows what he or she is doing. Also say I pace a vehicle for speeding Ill stop a give a ticket every time if i see a radar detector. Never give warning I figure the driver deserves a ticket trying to not get caught for speeding. LE write violations to reduce the chance of a accident and to keep peds safe. Thats why wrote tickets and gave warnings not for the cities revenue or the states if its a state law !

 

OP, use add a circut in the cabin fuse panel. it is where i have my 8500 ci installed to for power.

indicator light is in the vent, GPS antenna under the dash, computer and speaker behind the kick panel.

 

Speeding ticket writing cops are the worst.

 

You know what they say about opinions. Better to be alive with a ticket though, than dead or have killed/seriously injured another from speeding/reckless driving. That being said, a few miles an hour over is one thing(should be overlooked), but 20, 30 plus miles an hour over is another(should get a citation). I'm sure this made complete sense to everyone and there are zero hurt feelings over this.

 

How do you explain the 60mph psl on the 6 lane highway I use on my commute where all lanes of traffic are doing 75 to 90. Even the semis are doing 80.

It's not always about safety...

 

Yes it is all about safety. The very first law about speeding was written because of safety in mind !
