    Gave a much cleaner look without having a wire hanging down the center of my vehicle. Strongly advise allowing Geek Squad to install also.

    Added this to my Radar/Laser detector to make a perminant install. Not much to say, not an easy install for someone unfamiliar with automotive electronics, simply from having to locate switched 12v. In my 2014 Explorer Limited, all electronics are controlled via Can-Bus, except the rear view mirror. Tapped that and after 20 minutes of running wire, done!

    It was installed at Best Buy and the guy that installed it had no idea how to install it in my GTR but I told him to take a chance and it ended up being a mistake The cables would rattle when I was on the freeway But it’s all good now I lost the car in typical Houston floods

    Great thing is you have 2 power options when connected. Manual from the module or if wiring is connected to the ignition, auto, with the option of powering off when driving through VA and DC. Wasn't too bad to fit on a Ford Fiesta, Garmin could improve it by adding a trim tool for the install.

    If you plan to install an Escort Radar Detector, this item is highly recommended. this does away with taking up one of the 12v power sources in your vehicle and can be wired in to ignition power to turn the detector on and off with the vehicle.

    I purchased this for my LASER DECECTOR and I still have not had it installed yet. Total tech will install this for free with my TOTAL TECH MEMBERSHIP. Which is cool. I just have not had the time to take my truck in yet to get this installed.
