Franco, I like the radar mount on the mirror. I want to do the same thing with my detector. I also think hardwiring it will give it a cleaner look. I think you can run the power to the back of the mirror--I just don't which connector on the harness in the mirror you need to hook it into. I guess you could use a meter and check to see which lead has power/which is ground, when the car is on.

Otherwise nice install!

 

I have to order the hard wiring kit. My original plan is to make it a clean install

 

OK OK here is the final product
Kenwood 7 in Flipdown and it does not block the rear view mirror

 

I found one on eBay for $35 (don't think the guy knew what he had). The most expensive component was the mounting bracket. Think it was about $150 from the dealer. The hardest thing for me was to find a connector to build the harness. I have a complete IP harness from the junk yard, and not one of the connectors from it would work. Found one in an audio shop in a guy's junk drawer. After that, it was plug and play. My headliner was not quite the correct contour; but make it work with some cutting and finessing.

 

here is my new set up

That's awesome Franco, now everyone can watch movies including the driver in the car behind you! LOL

 

I was going to post my latest mod, two alpine amps, 4 new door speakers and new 8" kicker sub but instead I took everything out yesterday. It sounded really good for a couple of months. It looks like I am jumping into a 2014 Hemi D soon. I will post photos and a review of the new radio. I am also curious to see if dodge change the sub in the 2014.

By the way guys, I posted the 2012 alpine system wiring code on another page... I also made a diagram using MS Paint.
