2021 Tesla Model 3 BlendMount Install w/Uniden R7

[@k-ron7403]

I’m super excited that Mike is now with OG as he is great on camera and his banter with Matt is always good. They work well together and Mike has a nice way of explaining what he’s doing on camera. Look forward for more vids to come 👍🏼

[@Jeeper1378]

Waiting for a Mike F Inside story.

[@Jergialipananu]

On my 2023 M3LR there were 2 red wires in that bundle, the correct wire is the slightly thicker red one in case anyone has a similar experience. Thanks for posting this vid, extremely helpful

[@dave3952]

It was inevitable that Mike would officially be a part of Obsessed Garage. M&M are like best bros! We appreciate what he brings to the channel 💯

[@ObsessedN]

Mike is an absolute bonus to this channel. Maybe occasionally a little to familia for Matt though 😂

[@civicmethodz]

This couldn’t of come at a better time, I have the exact same car with the exact same radar detector. The blend mount and harness have been sitting in my trunk for weeks because of the fear for not being able to find a switched 12v. Mike makes it look easy and I will try to attack it this weekend!

[@timothyriggins]

Mike F. could have his own channel

[@Jeeper1378]

Mike F ya !!!

[@bleckndecker]

Been watching since 2015 and Mike adds a great dynamic to the channel.

[@AngleArtist]

Just made the mistake of installing this mount on my driver's side at first too. Glad I'm not alone here! Thanks for the video

[@matthewchaston1218]

Great video. Having Mike as a part of OG is fantastic. He is great to watch work and is a natural in front of the camera.

[@tedk4605]

I've been using an R7 for about 6 months now. It's worth every penny

[@jeffc6832]

I love watching Mike work...but I hope we'll still get to see some Matty struggles once in awhile.

[@victorr4844]

I have R7 in both my cars. Both are on blend mounts and wired with mirror taps. Super easy to install.

[@tommypatch4162]

Thank you so much for this video. I went to the driver side panel but the one plug in is missing or it is all changed from 2020 to 2021. Wish it was still there but cant win them all. Can't wait to get this done this weekend. Valentine One Gen 2 will love its new home.

[@Reaper-Jim]

The R7 is legit. It’s … relatively … inexpensive, very reliable and accurate. The range is nuts as well. Nice big screen. No, it doesn’t have Bluetooth, but so what. Unfortunately, I have no clue how to install stuff like this but paying a pro is np considering what you get. EDIT: Let me rephrase “no clue” to “no desire”. 😊

[@johnmbell4642]

Hey Matt, when I started watching this video I thought Mike was still there after the big garage project or possibly this was shot before you guys started that project, come to find out he’s part of OG Best news I’ve heard all week glad you’re able to work with your friend have a good one as always.

[@racecrashrepeat]

Matt, please do me a favour and let us know what floor matts you have there in the shot where you found the 12v switched wire. That texture looks super clean.

[@benplaggemars9195]

Need more Mike on the channel! His personality is great!

[@DJ_Driven]

Matt you're going to need to add the OG DOV probe meter test kit 🔌 ⚡ to the website

[@velocity4260]

I did this install in like an hour, I'm not sure why you had to take the bolt off the sun shade, the wire is so thin you could of just shoved it in there, and went under need the pillar air bag.

[@TrickieD808]

I sent mine through the hole of that panel. Super clean look. Love the R7.

Matty cracking the whip!

[@charlesrice4023]

Great video as always. I just started an install for my detector on my 2022 M3P and I'm having trouble finding the right wire - but may just be my clamp meter isn't reading properly. Have you had any issues after the installation with any error/sensor issues? Or any thoughts it might void the warranty?

[@ObsessedGarage]

First off, there is no such thing a voiding a warranty. On low voltage stuff like this, I just keep putting it into a spot until I find one that works. You want to find on of similar fuse size.

[@charlesrice4023]

@@ObsessedGarage Just finished the intall using the exact same wire used in your video. Works great, switches on an off with the vehicle. Thanks!

[@VikasGiri1986]

Mike F is too F'n good.

[@mattjhuhn]

Would love to hear Mike's back story. Been watching for a few years, but I guess I've never caught it.

[@Bran252]

That was to deep for Matty 😂🤣 keep it going Mike.

[@weSteh]

Mike is a classic. They dont make them like this anymore.

[@LTSRIDE24]

I just purchased the R7 after finally retiring my old Escort RedLine 0100025-1. I'm hoping I don't regret this decision. 😬 I'm yet to get in installed as I'm waiting on my blendmount, but I will say, the R7 feels cheap to the touch tho, compared to my Escort.

[@timbrown9731]

More Mike F vids pls!

[@Sixer-84]

Thanks for posting this and sharing all the detail! Might try to tackle and rewire my R4.

[@mranonymous1167]

Mike is an amazing addition 👏👏👍

[@cheftommy]

Im going to attempt this thanks to you ! Did you have to alter anything or was the blendmount a direct fitment ?

[@halz7]

Mike should oversee the construction of Matt’s new house.

[@seanclark5670]

What dash cam do you recommend

[@ReidEvers]

Wondering this as well

[@bigbrown2690]

Following as well

[@ObsessedGarage]

I've never been a Dash Cam guy. I don't want to know what happens when I'm not there.

[@Reaper-Jim]

Sean, my personal preference is the NextBase 622GW. It’s a little more expensive than typical but it’s so nice. 4k video front, 1080p rear, slow motion, enhanced night vision, GPS, Bluetooth, the works. Note: more than a few have complained about this camera freezing at random. I have 3 of them in 3 different vehicles and none of them have ever frozen. Granted, I’ve only had them for just over a year.

[@timbrown9731]

I’m gonna send this video to my buddy Mark that assembles these things on the line in Fremont tell him he’s doing a crappy job!

[@drbrainz1235]

Where is the link for the hardwire kit??? I want to buy it!!

[@realtvnow]

Make sure your car is not plugged in and charging, because you will not get the 12v reading while the car is plugged in.

[@Mari0o0o]

Really excited for the Theia by Radenso. Hopefully it lives up to the hype.

[@ObsessedGarage]

I'm waiting patiently for that too.

[@SuperKarlAdam]

What is Mike''s background? What did he do before moving fully to OG?

[@hoangkieunguyen]

I heard there is a 12v cable where the front dome light is...where the hazard is...can I use that 12v? I also heard that location will always be on and I am afraid that will drain the battery with the car.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Yeah, I don't think that will work.

[@Pilot2315]

Are there any options for radar or laserjammers in Germany? I’m looking for years but it seems like they are just for the US. I know we can legally speed as fast as we like on parts of the autobahn , but the real fun is on curvy mountain roads.

[@biggcstylez]

What size was the bolt that was used to fit that factory ground fitting?

[@Legomax18]

Any idea if this fits on a 2021 Model S Plaid? I heard the mounting area was the same on the refreshed MS, as the 3 & Y

Matt C over on OffTheRanch channel needs help setting up his new garage. It would be cool if OG could work with him.

[@ObsessedGarage]

I've found that these KZbin people aren't who we think they are. I have such a hard time working with people that don't know jack about anything. It's too hard for me to be a part of it.

@@ObsessedGarage I know what you mean, he did have Matt Risinger help him a little with building his home, Maybe he will reach out to you.

Met him via email. He was following me on KZbin, bought some stuff, and sent me an email. He now relocated to FL and works for OG full time. I hired his son Trevor too.
