****** Max 360 Install

Just wanted to give people a heads up on this radar detector I just got and I'm hardwiring tomorrow to the fuse box with a smart cord for muting the sound. This radar detector comes with a strong suction mount that can mount up under the mirror on my Gen 2 Raptor and it feels pretty stable and strong. No need for a 3rd party mirror mount like Blendmount. It looks really good and clean too. I have a mirror mount for a back up if I need one though.

Any thoughts? Will it last?

get a mirror tap and get rid of hanging wire

Damn, you didn't read what I wrote. lol

ahhhhhhhh

Sadly it wont last there, even with no offroad... one temperature cycle and you will find that falling off ( if interior sensor is active, your alarm triggered middle of the night too ), can attest to this on multiple occasions

Mirror tap is clean, but i too like the lower tapped source as you can then run a smartcord box to discretely cut power/mute/block etc. little more wire tuck work, but worth it to me

My V1 stayed stuck for 10+ years in my old truck using the two suction cups on the factory bracket. It sat outside all day through below 0 winters and 100+ summers. I'd pull it down every year or so to clean the glass then re-stick it. OTOH, the one in my Mustang will fall off every few months just sitting in the garage. Weird.

That's the ****** with the directional arrows like the V1, right? If you can't beat em, join em.

Yes with more cool gadgets like built in GPS and Bluetooth to sync with the phone and integrates with the ****** Live App for speed cams, light cams, and speed traps etc.. Can be upgraded while mounted (no need to send in for updates). Programming is a breeze now using the phone app. It syncs with my phone when it's started up. I like that the phone can be used to mute the Max 360 so I really don't need the smart cord. I don't know where I would have mounted the smart cord anyways that would have given me better access than just hitting the mute button on the Max 360 or my phone. I mounted the phone just to the right of the steering wheel so it's really close and I can use the ****** Live app in the background with the Waze app in the foreground at the same time. Nothing beats laser better than knowing where they are sitting.

So far this radar detector is all it is hyped up to be with better range than my old ****** 8500 X50. I have the new Uniden R1 installed in another vehicle. It's supposed to give the furthest detection now on Ka band, but it's not as cool as the Max 360 and no directional arrows. The Max 360 just looks like it belongs in the Raptor. It's a beast.

That actually looks pretty good. I have the mirror tap and a blend mount. I think that the blend mount hides the device a little better but not much. Your method might actually be more stable while going off road. My blend mount bounces so much that I have to take off the radar detector.
