Radar Detector Hard Wiring Help!!
Has anyone hard wired a their radar detector on their 2017 or 2018 F250? I can't seem to find any instructions on how to do it. I would like to just use a wire tap but need some guidance. Help if you have any knowledge about how to do so. Thanks

Use one of these on - key on, engine off. Ground and your set.
As in my previous post, stay away from V1's SAVVVY unit

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I bought this from Amazon. It uses the power from the rear view mirror.

Just run the power to the fuse block in the passenger side kick panel. There's a bundle of wires there, one is the PTO wire and should be labeled. It will provide you with switched accessory power. Dont have to go through the firewall, should only take about 10 minutes to wire up.

There are multiple plugs to penetrate for your own wiring though. The largest/easiest is right above the parking brake or brake pedal. Just look up at the firewall and you'll see a big black rubber plug. Poke a hole through that and run your RCA. It can be a pain in the ***, but its doable.

Is there any way for you to post a picture of how you connect to the mirror or just snap a picture and draw arrows to what was taken apart to access the power source? I don't want to start pulling on stuff and break something. I also got the wire and wanted to connect it somewhere near the mirror to get rid of the power cord hanging down to the cig lighter/ power plug. Thank you

Not a passthrough (there are those, but those are wires that are already passed thorugh, so you connect on both sides without having to poke through the firewall).
