Anyone hardwire a radar detector?

In my opinion the only way to do this (which I do in every Lexus truck I have ever owned).
1.) Valentine One
2.) Blend Mount to rear view mirror (google it)
3.) Stealth cord
4.) My Lexus Dealer installs mine for around $50.00 and if they break anything I'm covered

I have an Escort QI 45 with laser diverters installed in grill with the controller mounted on the dash just above the outside door mirror controll. Had the same unit mounted on last three LX's. I pay a local shop to install and uninstall when I trade vehicles. The best part is the laser zappers! They work. Now the motorcycle cop tickets the car behind me, instead of me.

He said that he pays a local shop. The picture of the 2011 is smaller, so it's hard to tell for sure, but it doesn't look like they drilled into that one (wire appears to be going into the A/C vent) like they did on the 2013 to get the wire through.

From the driver's seat the Radar controller looks OK to me. An install I did and have done on all my LX's, was the Override system. attached is a picture of the install, and of the controller (under the Parking Brake) along with a picture of the Driver's view. I had the controller on my '11 LX in the ash tray, but I like where it is better. I did this install and I am sure it will not meet most people's high standards--But works for me! And will not be there when I trade in a year or two. The picture of the dash all torn apart was of the override install. My wife did not think I would ever get this back together, but that was easier than taking it apart. I made her help me.
