Hardwire radar on refresh model s
- Thread starter pers785
- Start date
Saw this video on YouTube regarding a refresh model x. Not sure if it would also apply to model s (video seems to claim it would)
I plan to follow this video to hook up my V1G2 in my Model S Plaid if I can figure out which BlendMount to go with.
Back in June I reached out to BlendMount to inquire about options for the Model S Plaid and here is what they said:
"Unfortunately we do not have a mount for the Tesla Model S Plaid (or S). We have tried to create one without success. Sorry about that.
I know there are some people on the Tesla forums who are trying our mounts to make it work, but they have to make modifications.
We are not satisfied with the fitment, so that's why it's not in our Vehicle Fit Guide.
We don't want you to damage your car, device, and or mirror, and want you to be able to adjust your mirror fully.
We are not responsible for any of the above mentioned problems that could occur should anyone use one of our mounts on a Model S or S Plaid."
I can't believe at this point in time they have not figured out a suitable solution for the Model S LR/Plaid 2021+.

For those that would rather not cut 'n splice, Valentine Research just released a USB-C -> 12V convertor. You would have to route the cable into the center console area, which can be done cleanly behind panels.
It applies, this is exactly what I did except....
You do not need to remove the mirror. Just remove the cover then you can access the power wires on the driver's side. Removing the mirror is a waste of time.
Thanks. This may be what I end up with if the mirror mount mystery isn’t solved. LoL.
$10 window mount from ebay. Been on almost a year now and zero complaints! New Radar Detector Perm Mount Designed for RADENSO XP/SP Models (RAD-R7-P) | eBay
I had a couple of blend mounts for my model 3's and model y, but the model s mirror arm is different and they don't work well (even after I modified one of the mounts). The sticker one mounts up high out of the field of view and it's been in the Vegas heat in the summer twice now and is still stuck on.
Have to say I'm more a fan of these things than the blendmounts now.
Agreed. The blend mounts are a slick solution, but positioning the RD below the mirror just puts it too far into my field of view. I hate trying to look around it when I'm not on the highway. I want it more up and out of the way.
