OK, Escort Max2 is installed!

I have to say, the mirror tap that comes with the mirror mount is not that great. The solders on the fuse and the ground were very poor. If you put ANY pressure near there, they will break. I was able to re-solder and update it with wire that 'actually' fits in the connector. Once I did that, it FINALLY would come on.

I basically followed this:

To remove the mirror. I would tilt the mirror downward, take the plastic cover off first, then, remove the 20 Torx screw. I used a trim tool to 'twist' the connector off -- really easy. The longest part was the darn mirror tap. But, its now installed!:

Now, charge the battery, and take it out for a spin!
