Mirror Tap for Radar Detector Help

[lsuguy]

Can anyone clarify which color wires to tie into on a 2011? I tried using the colors explained in this DIY

http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...ight=Valentine

But using those colors won't turn the detector on. I found a switched power and a ground but it turns the detector off when I go in reverse and is overall acting weird.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Timely post! I referenced it and installed the blend mount and mirror tap this morning !

Red wire inserted into back of bracket into existing red wire slot next to Green wire, it's hard to see but there are two red wires in this slot.

Something is screwy then because when I use those colors I get nothing. The red wire does read 12v when I ground to the chassis but not getting a ground on the wire the DIY references....

First time I did it I got nothing too. Had to make sure I pushed in far enough to make contact. As soon as I dId I got power! Zip tied it and boom.

I've had that problem before. I just solder everything now. Takes about the same time and I know it's a solid connection.
