Radar detector plug ins
When it come to reading wiring diagrams, I'm the dumbest guy on the planet. Can someone direct me as to which ports in the mirror plug I should use to direct hook a Valentine V1 into the power on the mirror plug? Thanks in advance.

[I]MirrorTap instructions for the V1. Turns out MirrorTap has at least two different plugs. One with thick leads and one with thin leads. Naturally they sent me the one with thick leads first which did not fit. Once I got the thin leads they fit perfectly. Good luck.

I've had bad results with sticking those pins into connectors that were not designed to have extra parts stuck in them. Erratic connections work one day, not the next. I always go to the fuse box.

...and I added solder pins from Radio Shack to the harness I installed back in '05 & have never had a problem with the power connection to my Valentine in the past 12 years!

I used an add a fuse in the footwell fuse box. Working for 10 years now. V1 is being displayed in the heads up display also.
