12V Outlet - Glovebox only? Radar Detector Install
Was installing my radar detector, and will likely hardwire at some point. The only 12V outlet I could find was inside the glove box, is there another one hidden someplace?
Any suggestions on hardwiring? Was thinking of using the wires in the mirror, but curious if there's a better way? |

As for hardwiring, I was looking at the mirror wires too. The car already has a prerun harness for the homelink mirror which includes power (I assume 12V), the wires for this harness are inside where the dome lights are. I need to look into how much power the homelink uses and see if the wires can handle the radar detector as well. If you don't have a homelink mirror then this is easy enough just have to wire it up to the unused harness above the dome lights. |

The coiled wire also wedges nicely between the glovebox/center screen area for the ultimate in low-effort jank install. Last edited by tenderization; 12-28-2021 at 07:37 PM. |
