Mirror mount Radar Det/SWS

[Big Beer]

I recently used the prefabbed mirror mount for C-5's and radar detectors/ Safety Warning Systems available from some venders for less than $30 and wired it using the 12 Volt mirror map light. Is anyone interested in a how to with pics for a thread? Took about 30 minutes to do. The only downfall is the light is always "hot" so you have to manually turn off the system (not a problem if you remove it for theft prevention).

Cheers

Me too. I'd really like to see the part about tapping the map light.
Great looking setup though.
