Looking forward to hearing how your installation goes (I'm assuming you are hardwiring the radar detector).

Looks awesome…
I just got my blendmount and hoping to install this weekend. Did you watch any YouTube tutorial videos before installing? Or did you just wing it on the hardwire job?

Also, figured out wire colors and pins via this thread:

The video and the thread were super helpful! It looks like I need to buy a mirror tap setup to connect the detector with rj 11 on one end and pins to put into the wiring harness on the other. Did you buy a particular brand?

I used Amazon and laid under $20. Worked like a charm. All the same. Just make sure to get the one that has different size pins.

Finally finished the Blendmount-V1Gen2 project… an electrical engineer friend who helped with the project recommended that I drive around for awhile with it installed before I replace the interior trim pieces just in case the electrical connections work their way loose from bumps or vibrations. I had a big of a tough time getting those trim pieces off initially so I readily agreed. Here's the finished look.

pmac23 Looks good!

Did you have to tape up the gesture control sensor area? I did.
Also, I opted to bring the wire out from the trim differently than your setup...
Lastly, I zip tied the mirror tap wires to the respective harness wires as well as zip tied the mirror tap shielded cable to the harness cable.
