Anybody who would like to share pics of their hardwired radar detector. Where you still able to close the fuse box cover?

Care to share how you did it with the CX-5. Too chicken to pry the RVM housing in the CX5 with all those forward collision sensors.
Zoom in on the pic i posted, looking at the end the wires enter, red goes on the far left and the black in the middle.Which wire goes to which hole. Have not tried this route before. I hardwired my RD at the inside fusebox if my RAV4 before. This is a better route but just want to make sure where i tap those wires to which hole.
and not to get OT, but are you guys not having issues with your radar detectors falsing to laser? I drive a Miata, not a CX-5, but I get a lot of laser false alerts from CX-5 when I pass by them.
Interesting... some systems must be laser based. Back in the day the radar cruise on my G35x was accused of sending out false positives. No idea if this is still true today. I haven't used a radar detector in probably 20 years now.
Woot woot VORTEX in the house, lol. No laser falses on my side. All my sensors are on. Had the R3 on the lower, middle and top part of the RVM and no K band or laser falsing. I already had the invisicord installed but at this time still using the cig cord. I need the tinting on sunstrip first before installing the RD up on the WS behind the tint. I might stick the dashcam on the CX5 front camera housing.
@Vortex Radar
I had my Uniden R3 for more than a year already and have not come any issues or falsing from my own car. Now comes the Uniden R7 and trouble comes, lol. Yes it falses like a disco party due to the rear horn. No matter what setting you use it will false. The only option you have is to disable K band. Unfortunately that won't fly since I have legit K band threats on my area. I am waiting for some stickies to attenuate the rear horn. For the mean time since I really like the R7 I just set up the R7 with Kband disabled while the R3 with Ka band disabled. Set them apart and hoping with bands disabled I would have lesser chance of interference, I hope so.

I got the R7 on release day as well and was immediately frustrated with the constant rear falsing.
I did NOT want to disable K band.
What solved the issue for me is updating the firmware ... yes it was out-of-date on release day!
Between updated firmware and running it in highway mode only when on long freeway runs, falses are now few and far between!
