Can you put up a link to that 20in? That'd be perfect.

I do remember trying behind the rear-view mirror, this was my first approach. There was a harness of sorts in there but I remember it being very tight. It probably carries enough current, but I spent a decent amount of time on it in general so then moved onto the dome light.

Lots of people have also ran a line all the way down to the passenger footwell fuse panel. There are plenty of slots, and apparently it's quite easy to tuck the cable into the body panels. For me tapping into that area seems like the best bet though. Good luck!

Yeah, I’m happy with the 20in and the blendmount for my uniden r7. Looks and works great, thanks for the detailed post.

I found the 20in on amazon here:

I was worried about 15 " being enough so ordered this 20" one. Looks like it 4 types of insert pins so hoping one fits

I’d recommend the 20” one. In hindsight I’m finding that I could have used a bit more for more placement options.

Link for the 20"? Which color wires did you tap into?

Only 20" I can find is this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00L2SVXQO?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 . Remember that this is on the other side of where the OP tapped, it's power for the homelink so it powers on/off with car so detector will do same. I checked with a meter and got 11.8 V, so plenty of power. Hooked red to the green wire and black to the brown wire

Very helpful, thank you! I need to do this ASAP!
