[QUOTE="Kinger9, post: 1775227, member: 32498"] Today I hardwired my V1 and dash cam. Just thought I would post how in case it helps. Remove the passenger side pillar. Super easy just insert a pick with a piece of tape over the end to keep from scratching into the lower hole on the grab handle and pop it out. Remove the 2- 10mm bolts on each side of the handle. Grab the handle and pull out and towards the center of the truck and it pops right off. (There is a YouTube vid on this) Then pop off the windshield plastic above the mirror. It’s just held in with 5 clips. Quick yanks working around does it. Remove you lower footwell (pass) fuse panel door. Now run your wires. I used a chase wire and pulled all my wires from the hole after the pillar trim is removed and right down to the fuse area. I used existing clips in the A pillar to secure both my V1 wires and dash cam. And tucked them up into the headliner working over to the mirror area. I have my V1 on driver side and Cam on pass side of the mirror. I snaked the wires through the window cam and other wires so you don’t even need a zip tie. Back at the fuse panel tap into fuse 35 for switched power with a fuse tap add a circuit. You will see an exposed stud that holds the 4x4 module right there. Lossen that 10mm nut and make your ground connection there (I used a couple washers to make a good connection on hoped the nut and stud would be sufficient connection to ground and it was). I ran a ground from there rather then trying to find a source up in the headliner. Button it all up and done. Easiest ford yet for me. Normally I need to pull off rocker panel and kick panel plastic. This was the pillar and mirror trim and done. Easily reversible too. I swap trucks every few years so I just made a harness that moves with me. It works well for the dash cam and I put the voltage converter in the A pillar as well (little box about 1x1x.25 goes from 12v in to 5v out) if your just doing the Radar using Mirror taps are really easy too. Hope it helps! [/QUOTE]
