Received my mirror tap in the mail and had it installed in less than 10 minutes. I only had to remove the top mirror cover and didn't have to un-plug the wire harness. I just used my left finger to tilt the wire harness towards me and a pair of needle nose pliers to wedge the tap into the two wires. They don't fit super tight, but the connection is fine.
I ended up picking up a Uniden R3 from Best Buy and used it on a trip this weekend. Seemed very sensitive with a lot of false alarms, but did pick up some bogeys with great range. Now that I have the tap installed, I'm going to use it and my V1 simultaneously on a trip to Dallas. Curious to compare them.
Thanks again for this awesome DIY.
