Can’t stand cords hanging. Took a bout a week but figured out a clean install. This was for a k40 install but they have the parts for many detectors available on the Amazon.
This install takes 10-15 minutes, requires no disassembly.
First step is to acquire the 3 parts that are listed. Wire tap with small pin adapter, detector bracket with threaded ball ends, tesa tape, because you’re a man.
First remove the end of the bracket off of the threaded ball. Nut is 7/16.
Drill a 3/16 hole into the passenger visor mount. Then screw the stud into just before the nut touches. Then use the 7/16 to tighten the nut. Firm is good. Don’t go all super man on it. I’m old so I just put mine in the drill chuck to start it.
Use a Allen wrench to tighten the mount wing nuts into the proper position
Unplug the harness from the back of the mirror. It has 3 wires. White, black and blue, green. We will be inserting the small pins into the black for ground and the white for power. This is a switched 12v off the ignition. You may have to use a set of pliers to force seat them all the way.
Use your “man tape” to wrap what’s not black.
Thats it’s.
Tesa tape

Detector mount must be this style with the threaded ball joints on the end. Just grab the appropriate one for your brand detector.

wire tap comes with the smaller pin adapter which you will be using. Grab the appropriate power end for your model.
