Hard wire is the best!

Awesome write up BD! 
I was contemplating where and how I was going to do this, and you took all the guesswork away. Thanks!

P.S. -- If your detector is 360*, have you noticed if it works for radars coming from behind you? Just wondering if the overhead console got in the way.

My whistler was a 360 and my new cobra is also. Mine is mounted up high which will cut down on the range from the rear a little but I still get signals to it.

It also depends on the quality of detector as well.  If you are using a high end such as Escort or Valentine you will be able to pickup 360.

Just got mine hooked up, works like a charm. Although my connector on the mirror was a lot different than yours, but I figured out where to put the pins. I'll post pics later as soon as I get the chance.
