Any recommended radar detector installers in Orlando, FL?
Folks,
Can any of you recommend a reputable radar detector installer in Orlando, FL? I know its a simple DIY, however I am a little apprehensive about taking the trim out to wire the radar detector to the passenger side fuse box. I don't like mirror tapping on a brand new car, hence the reason to look for a good installer that has worked with BMW cars before. Thanks! |

I did the mirror tap on my G29 and it literally would have take 5 min if I had not wasted time trying to remove the wiring connector from it's holder. You don't need to remove the connector from it's holeder, just use needle nose pliers to insert the mirror tap spades into the appropriate wires in the connector.
More info here: https://g29.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...radar+detector Look at the parts diagram for your car's mirror housing so you can easily see how it comes apart. Buy the tap off Amazon, watch a couple of BMW mirror tap video on YT and you are done in no time. Also, who do you think will take better care of your car, you or some guy making $12/hr who doesn't give a sh*t.

There is not a lot of trim to remove if you are going to install via the fuse box. Tuck the cord in along the glass and trim as you go up to the top.
I had the same qualms about the mirror tap even after using it on my GT. Made for a simple install and it's easy to reverse if you decide to go the other route. |
