    Model 3 approaches Camry levels

    I have a similar story that takes it a step further. Many years ago I parked my green Chevrolet Impala with a green interior at a shopping center and went into a store. When I came out I saw what I though was my car. I stuck the key in the door and it unlocked. I stuck the other key in the...

    I'll bet you are thankful you had your Dashcam to record the accident.

    12v wire tap for Radar Detector

    Would you please post a photo of the source of 12v constant power in the harness that feeds the nearby assembly? What possible good could the two wires feeding the mirror be without power? Is it possible that it might have power only under certain conditions?

    12v wire tap for Radar Detector

    Or can be used with a detector like the Uniden R3 that has the option in the configuration to shut itself off or even if you remember to power it off.

    12v wire tap for Radar Detector

    Please let me know if you get this to work (either with constant or intermittent power). This is my preferred approach if it works.

    12v wire tap for Radar Detector

    Do you happen to know if that power going to the mirror is constant or intermittent? I can deal with it either way but prefer an intermittent source that is only on when the car is fully on.

    12v wire tap for Radar Detector

    I called Tech Support at Blendmount as well. Got the same no answer answers for both my Porsche and Model 3. They absolutely have no understanding of the application of their products. NOT ACCEPTABLE! They need to know more about how their products are installed than anyone else. Got my Porsche...

    New Model 3 Radar Detector Hardwire

    Does anyone know if in the 2020 Model 3 there is switched or unswitched power in the rear view mirror and if so how to access it? A photo or video showing how to open up that plastic part behind the mirror would be very helpful. I intend to mount a Uniden R3 with a Blendmount mount and tap into...

    cut wires in rear view mirror

    I just bought a Uniden R3 and would like to take power from the circuit in the mirror of my 2020 Model 3. Can anyone show me how to open the panel behind the mirror to gain access to 12v power. Seems much cleaner and easier than other methods suggested in the forums (like the cigarette power...

    New Model 3 Radar Detector Hardwire

    I have read that particularly Acura and Honda cars interfere with radar detectors. Now some detectors including the Uniden R3 can filter out those signals to avoid false triggering.

    New Model 3 Radar Detector Hardwire

    The R3 has an auto off option that you can configure if its wired to a constant power source. It will sense no movement for30 minutes and shut the detector down. You can also just power it down manually. Better is to find a power source that is on only when the car is on.

    New Model 3 Radar Detector Hardwire

    I was going to go cordless until I saw a review on Vortexradar.com. Apparently cordless detectors dont have the performance of the hardwired detectors.
