You can wire it with your mirror with an invisicord. I know there is a write up on it as well. Its very easy too and looks clean.

I saw that thread but I had ordered the Fuse Install kit quite some time but never got around installing it.

I wouldn't mind attempting to install it on my own but to start off with need to know where exactly is the RCF Fuse box located?

Yes, Interior Fuse box. Just need to know the location and how to access (in case its not in an easy accessible area).

so the interior fuse box is right under driver side steering column. just peak your head under there and you will see it. has a white lid with blue diagram on it. it uses the low profile ATM type mini fuses. use a fuse tap but make sure you learn or know how to place fuses in it. there are a few guides on youtube. you don't put two of the same amp fuses in the fuse tap which is a common mistake people do.

here is what i actually bought to do my dash cam and power magic box in my rc-f.

Two questions:

1. Which fuse did you tap it into in the RCF Fusebox
2. What Fuse do I need to use for the Radar Dector (5 / 7.5 / 10?)
