Anyone has a diy for lx570 for radar wiring. I just hardwired the valentinev1 in my gx and got the Uniden r7 for the lx. I have a 2018 looking for any info.

A lot depends on where you want to mount the Uniden. Assuming you're wiring 2 wires, white with a black stripe is always chassis ground. Red is normally on all the time, orange is on with ignition. A bit of probing the backs of connectors with a test light or dvm should get you started.

I put this one from amazon in mine ~5+ years ago: Radar Mount Mirror Wire Power Cord with Inline Fuse RJ11 - Valentine V1 Radar Detector

No issues.

I installed them on the 2018 and 2015. For the 2015 there were two screws the hold the top console that are in the sun glasses area.

The 2018 was rather simpler, just push out the black box near the mirror away or downwards. It exposes the wiring, the wires were different colors but location was the same.
