My radar detector turns off and on with the car... You may have tapped the wrong wires...

BTW if you installed the ADD-A-CIRCUIT wrong just turn off the car and turn it around make sure you didnt put back all the panels before making sure it works! Enjoy!!!
Hi Isxuel with the add fuse thing that you used, the stock fuse won't fit, because the stock fuse pin so short, so I have to use different fuse type to able put in the add fuse circuit, and what fuse rate do you put in the slot B?, or you leave it? thanks

I have the direct wire kit from valentine one and I am not sure what to do with the red wire with the blue connector. I have already wired the car down into the fuse box area but I am not sure what to do from this point on...

Can anyone guide me as to what I have to do with the red wire in the fusebox?

Well I just got a V1 and a Joy Country Craft mount (super Z 3/4"). Thanks to this DIY I was able to hardwire the V1 directly into the mirror for a clean install. Here are a couple of pics...

Haha! Thanks, I don't like to see alot of wires or anything like that, and i'm not a fan of the suction cups, so this seemed to be the best option.

Couldn't have done any of this without the help of other CL members. THANKS AGAIN CL!

Yea, I saw that, but I wasn't interested in spending $800 alone on the install charges or try to learn to etch glass my own RVM for the first time.
