Hard wire radar detector.

[Padraig]

I have a new 2023 Suburban and I need to run wires from under dash to the upper windshield. Does anyone know how the trim for the drivers side piller is removed?

Thanks,

Padraig

I ran dash cam wires without removing the panels
I pulled the rubber door seal and went accross to the roof liner that way

i have a 2023 tahoe... the fuse panel on these trucks is in the end of the passenger side dash... run the wire up the "A" pillar and under the leading edge of the headliner. you can use an "add a fuse" to get power.. please note these trucks have a new "3 pronged" fuse. i used a "blendmount" brand bracket and attached my detector to the rearview mirror.

We're you able to push the wire under the piller trim and headliner.? What did you use?

Thanks

i put the wire under the flexable black rubber from the dash up the a pillar.. then i took a plastic trim tool and slightly opened the gap around the top of the hard plastic a pillar trim so i could get the wire hidden behind. after that i got the wire under the leading edge of the head liner.

FYI, Radar detectors are a huge waste of money as Lazer radar guns are being used once he has you in the scope to shoots your vehicle the button is pushed (instant on and off) he's got you and the detector goes off but he already has your speed. If he shoots the vehicle in front or beside you the detector will not go off as the Lazer beam has a spread of about 2-3 feet at 1000ft.

sillverado4x4,

i guess we will have to just agree to disagree.....
no one really cares what you think about radar detectors....
stay on topic...

besides the original poster just asked how to get "power" from dash to windshield...
my example was for my radar detector and "dash cam"...

the original poster can use the example for whatever he needs to install...

My free tip.

Drive under the speed limit. No tickets. No need for detectors.
