    Yeah for some odd reason it just doesn't want to power the radar.. You didn't have to trim the shrink wrap for the connector to slide all the way in either?

    Did the same with the blend mount with my V1, but instead of wiring it into my mirror I just ran it along the roof and down the a pillar to the fuse box.
