Made a detailed install video on how to install a hardwire kit for a radar detector in the S650 because the little USB port behind the mirror has constant power which required me to unplug my radar detector every time I got out of the car to avoid draining the battery.

massive shout out to @Interstellar for posting about this! He basically laid it out in pictures which made it rather simple.

total time on this install was maybe 15-20 minutes. And the hardwire kit was about $15 from Amazon!

let me know what you think!

Already installed my Blendmount and wiretap thanks to @Interstellar's post, but your video is solid. Appreciate the effort, @Tuxonspeed!

Solid install but the vehicles BCM kills power when it detects excessive parasitic drain. It wouldn’t kill your battery at all

Installing the blendmount and the R7 with 150 international update. This and @Interstellar's directions will be heavily relied upon. Which one of you do I get to blame when I break a clip or 3 of the plastic surround on the mirror? 😁

I have the patience of a toddler so if I didn’t break my tabs (although 1 was kind of jacked up from the beginning) you’ll be fine :)

Hahahaha, I might have a chance then!

Although, I did the Pioneer sub swap. Watched every video, read every post on how to remove the trim ring. Got the first one popped without breaking, then when 6 for 6 breaking every f'n one.

Metal clips could give me life! 😂

Got a few links you found the most useful? Worth the time and money? Wouldn’t mind some extra OOMF

I think it really helps the B&O system greatly. Much more tight and controlled bass. If you're looking for window shaking bass, this isn't it. I'm very happy with it and it was around $100.00.

I had no issues R&R the cover. Zero broken bits.

Got the detector and the wiring pin yesterday. Little kid me couldn't wait for the blendmount that's being delivered this morning to start working on it. I just grabbed the plastic on the front left and yanked down, pop! Worked my hand around it, all clips came with the cover. Wired, replaced piece, just waiting on the mount now.

Thank you for both the video and step by step post with pics

Remember! A 32 oz ball peen hammer solves most electrical installation issues!

And, perhaps some Unchristianly language as well. :wink:

That's great news. Honestly, I spent more time dinking around with the Blendmount than with the wiring. Be sure to remove the middle link before install.

Thank you for reminding me!

I tend to get ahead of myself and it really slows me down. I was downloading the current update for the R7 and a tech wizard settings over at RD forums, couldn't figure it out. Panicked and messaged the moderator who's been really cool to talk to. He sent me links for "how to" do the things I needed. Read too fast, spent 30 minutes doing something I didn't need to be doing. If I had just scrolled down 2 more sentences, I would have seen the YouTube video that shows that I'd done everything except open up the Uniden driver and install 😂. I'm an impatient moron, haha
