I had to tap into a different power source since the one above is a constant power source and is always on.. I just tapped into the ignition fuse for the power source and now I can just leave the RD there without having to worry about unplugging it when I leave the car..
not sure why thats doing that for you. Its an ignition source for me, rd goes on and off with the car. Though im not sure if they changed this in later years. My car is an 07
Clean installation, but with LE using mostly hand-held laser these days, all your detector is doing is telling you when to reach for your DL and insurance.

not necessarily, most cops run radar in city settings. And they are not allowed to use laser when it is raining so there are times when a radar comes in handy. Of course my radar is supplemented with a pair of laser interceptors up front to protect me from those sneaky bike cops.

Laser is perfect for urban areas. You can pick a car out of a pack from 1000ft. There is still alot of radar out there because of budget reasons. Lasers aren't cheap.
You are correct concerning rain, not too many cops like to stand in the rain along side a busy street. But do you really want to speed in the rain?
Amalan ~ U R Da Man! Hardwired my Valentine One today into my '08 GS 350, your instructions were right on the money! Never would have known how to do this without your step-by-step. Thanks for this most excellent post!
some highly review audio shop could wire my V1 above the rear view mirror for $40, does it sound reasonable or too cheap to be true? it always seems like a lot of work to me.. i plan to have them wire a dash cam while they are at it

My local car audio shop charges $90/hour, and hardwiring an RD and a dash cam is 15 minutes work, tops. You be the judge.

It is a 10 minute job if you wire it to the switched power source coming off the mirror.
