Radar detector

[dudmleh522]

Hey guys who are running radar detector where did you mount your remote to? I am trying to hardwire my escort but all i am seeing is write ups for 1st gen. Anyone have good tutorial on 2nd gen?

Thanks!

I hardwired V1 in my '18 g80 sport which isn't any different than '15-'17

Check my posts #288 and #289 What did you do with your DH today?

I hardwired my R3 into the mirror. No remote, just reach up and mute it. I might install a BlendMount at some point but it's fine right now.

For ur v1 do u have a remote mute button like escort? Is wiring to the mirror lot easier than fuse box?

No remote used on my newly retired V1. As far as the hardwiring, it's a TON easier than routing to the fusebox.

Follow this thread (w pics) How to get to the wiring harness for rear view mirror on 2015 Genesis 3.8 AWD?

And that is same way to add dashcam?

Good question, probably but I don't know about dashcams that use park mode because it would need power when the ignition is switched off. A multimeter would probably be the best source to tap the mirror wires in this case.

Use a rechargeable Lithium powered dash cam. No need to hardwire one into the system. There are quite a few excellent dash cam available that are lithium rechargeable. I believe one is advertises here in the vendor section. Keep in mind, anything that is hard wired unless turned off is a drain on the Genesis battery. You have to make sure it's turned off individually or it will be a draw on the system. It may leave your battery flat after a short period of time.

That's going to seriously limit the number of dashcams you can buy. The rechargeable battery packs for some of these (Blackvue for instance) almost exceed the price of the cameras...and they still need to be hardwired somewhere.

I have opened up the fuse box on driver side and there are no empty slots available. If i was going to use add a circuit where wiuld i plug it into?
Also how do you remove the A pillar on other vehicles there is a plastic tab you remove to get to the bolt
