Thank you so much I just did my Q7 and it looks great without the long wire :)

[@tariqquadeer7855]

Can you show or tell me how you got those panels off? is it just a simple downwards pull, or something else?

[@topgearshoppe5693]

You should post a lot more videos brother, your stuff is always good!

[@nathanielho8852]

worked perfectly for my 2017 S6

[@oldrover3007]

Hey Eddie , Since I first watched your Video I purchased and installed the Mount and am very happy with it , I also got the hard wire kit but have yet to install that part . It’s a nice mount and easy to remove the unit from to stow in the trunk on occasion when using public parking . I don’t mind the price for Quality American Made products that fit and look good . Thanks for showing it to me . 👍

[@EddieX]

That is awesome!! Love the feedback and glad you appreciate the product.

[@randallcooke8689]

Very thorough .. Well done and Informative !

[@oldrover3007]

Thanks Eddie , Very informative Video , I ordered a new R7 for my New Car and I will order the mount and Wire kit now. I look forward to having it all together. I like a nice neat Install. Thanks again for posting. , B.

[@EddieX]

Happy to help!

[@AlexVorasane]

Very good video. I hear some vehicles even when the car is off, power still runs through the rear view mirror.

[@AleiMerrill]

I just wired my s7. Thanks Eddie

[@de82788]

Thank you, Great video

[@pht0001]

Also wondering if you had issues with the GPS on the Escort 360 mounting under the mirror?

[@nahhh5007]

Great insight! New subscriber

[@greatestever2565]

my l322 range has the same weird rear view mirror buldge. Are you experiencing any issues w/ the Max360 getting GPS due to placement of the unit? thanks

[@bxp1696]

How did you get that large cover off ???

[@GT350_Feind]

Very informative video and a great solution to avoid cords running everywhere. I have a 2018 GT350 and their website does not currently have a mount available. I've seen your videos with the GT350 and I was wondering if you had an alternate solution for an Escort 360 MK II (or 360c MK II). Thanks for any feedback you can provide.

[@jamesrose298]

How do you unplug that harness I can’t figure it out??

[@kitkatrina]

Thank you!!

[@yumyaml4934]

coolo vedio i have question about how to find put the right wire still hard to do for me

[@MrCyaltrbye]

Thanks Eddie. Good shit man! Think I’m going to sack-up and try it tomorrow night. EDIT: have the blendmount installed (mine looks way diff (Audi S3) - but time to take the plunge and rip the mirror casing off

[@yg-3087]

Does it work in Europe? Countries like England, Germany?

[@andysoto5569]

Would this be same process on a 2018 S5?

[@alejandrapadilla302]

I bought a cable off of Amazon and was able to find which was the power and which was the ground but it only powers my escort when the engine is off and then it says low voltage and powers down. It shows on the escort that it only powers up to 8 volts, so yeah it's not enough. Then when I turn the engine on it doesn't power the escort at all. Any one able to help?

[@korkser]

How do u do it with 2 devices both to the mirror tap

[@CoolBrzBlu]

I installed the blendmount and mirrortap on my sq5 and now my phone calls are unintelligible. Any ideas?

[@eduardoamaral6031]

Hey Eddie, this radar works in Europe ? And it works in Ford Focus MK2 2009 ?

[@juanluna1638]

Need help to find the power on my c-hr 2020

[@mickto8372]

Eddie, was there ever an update on your Audi North Miami situation?

[@EddieX]

Nothing monumental, Audi of America stepped in to investigate and resolve the situation. I never heard from Audi North Miami again.

[@johnconner7364]

Can you use a escort cord on a uniden if it's the cord with the old phone looking insert.fits in exact and I have the thing ready to hook up

[@EddieX]

I think so. May be universal.

[@philq8503]

Hey Eddie, I have the Escort smart cord. Will this mirror tap work with it? If so, how is it connected? Thanks for the video.

[@EddieX]

I don't actually know so I'd recommend reaching out to blendmount!

[@rajabaja98]

Hey Eddie, would love to ask you a couple questions about mounting one in my i8

[@jimmytran1870]

Try a forum

[@mrmarciano1628]

114 bucks for that mount………

[@MrYooper]

Wait till you find out how much the radar detectors cost

[@pkinspkins1605]

I have the Tesla Model Y back window is so small do you think that if a radar is shot at my car from the back to my radar detector and , not hitting directly into my uniden R3, do you think my radar detector will go off anyway? Not sure how the radar gun and the radar detector works in the event that a cop shoots my car from the back.

[@anand604]

has anyone done this on a Polestar 2? much frustration in finding a switched power lead. I found that blue/green was ground and yellow/black was hot, but its not switched. uggh.

[@jcmartinez3809]

How can I do this to my 2018 Camaro ZL1?!?!

[@MrRmalimata]

Hi there do you mind sharing a link for it? Tysm! Great video!

@Joaquin Josue thank you, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D I really appreciate it !!

[@nonickname8292]

I have a valentine and its not picking up the newer detection systems...

[@Frankie_G_]

have you heard of any issues caused by mirrortaps? thanks

[@EddieX]

Nope.

[@ballayoualilsmalla]

Haven't checked yet... but the ting looks hella pricey... 😐 most likely in the $150 ball park. Worth it if you're buying it as a package with brand new radar detector. Escort max $650-$950. Mount $150... OUCH

[@alecbentley6641]

Having trouble with keeping the 360 max on the mount.

[@pht0001]

I had that issue too with the suction cup. Just make sure you push it firmly in to seat the radar detector to the mount. It usually snaps into place.

[@Blk.g20]

Do you know of any hardwire kits for the circular power cord? My detector does not have the phone cord plug and I’ve been having some trouble finding a kit for it. Thanks

[@tsdr6830]

What radar detector do you have?

[@MattH-wg7ou]

Blendmounts look very high quality but JFC theyre expensive AF! I guess if you're driving the best car ever, an RS7, then its not a problem though.

[@icxcnika555]

I want to get this but i feel like something hanging from my mirror will block my view and annoy me lol

[@BihhhImDaGoat]

Lol I was curious if this was even a thing instead of me customizing something I don’t want a wire sitting down the middle of the dash

[@matthewdiabo9341]

probably a stupid question but what do you do if you go to a state where these are banned?

[@EddieX]

I would unplug it and put it in the glove box. That's what I do when I go to Canada.

[@sirnicholas6626]

don't like the fact that using the mirror power gets rid of my little shut up button" that I can push to mute the sound lol.

[@chrisdelbene653]

Left out the most difficult part - where to find the power source. Everything else is simple.

[@kidjeff4304]

Hardwired....to a power outlet. Lol

[@rjdatdude23]

Why waste a lot of wire when you can get power in the same spot as your radar? Not smart

[@blitzy3244]

Is this legal since it is mounted to the rear view mirror...technically the mirror is mounted to the windshield though too. 🤔Stupid Cali laws...

[@richardburger3350]

The hardest part of the whole project is removing that plastic dome piece. You said you would show that, but you didn’t. 😢

Can't convince "wifie" my next car will soon be an RS7, but she thinks I'm going through a midlife crisis and that a minivan is more suitable for her and the grandchildren...Fuck REALLY!

Personally I havent had the need for a radar detector and as someone who drives and commutes regularly, I just havent had the need for one. Plus they are super expensive and I feel like you wouldnt need one if you are a safe and careful driver

My main concern is you are exposing your car to thieves leaving it on to be seen when you are not driving. 😢

[@jaxen-x1216]

Dude, the detector is detachable with quick disconnects both mechanically and electrically.

[@tjw3946]

wait a minute, can you explain what you mean! im so confused
