Radar Detector

Has anyone hotwired a radar detector into the car's electrical system? If so, where?

Thanks

I did but unfortunately did not take photos during the install. Put in on driver side by sun visor and ran the wire down the A pillar and into the fuse panel in the passenger footwell. I found a switched fuse after testing every fuse. Everything works perfectly.

Suggest checking out other MB models with a similar rear view mirror to see if they were successful tapping into it.

Appreciate if you can tell us which fuse.

I would suggest a K40 stealth install, front and rear antenna, remote, and with front jamming if you want to activate it. I have it on my 2019 Z06, but haven't done it for the SL63. So far, my grey hair and Marine Corps license plate are more effective.
