Hardwiring a radar detector

Cusenation7 · Nov 24, 2016

I'm purchasing a Valentine 1. I'm looking to mount it by the review mirror. I'd like to hardwire it so it will turn on and off with ignition. Any specific instructions for the 2017 F150 Raptor available online? I've found videos on YouTube but they are outdated or different vehicles. I don't wanna pull out the wrong fuse or mess up the wiring. Anyone come across a detailed instruction guide?

probably won't find many how to's until people you know, get the truck.....

Granted, but is the placement of the fuse box any different than the 2016 model? I suppose if it's the same then the process would be similar?

Literally took me 20 seconds to find this:

Doesn't anyone know how to use the internet anymore? I mean, I ******* hate computers and this was such an easy search. They probably have some stuff for the 2016/2017 F150. It's basically the same truck except for wider fenders and some glued on stuff, so it should work.......

You can call Valentine and they will help you program them so they ignore the new radar bands coming off of all the semis and cars with the accident avoidance systems. Takes about 5 minutes and fixes the issue.

Ah sweet did not know if they were still doing updates to theirs or not.

Plan on getting a new radar once the Gen2 comes in, paird with a blinder jammer.
