Ldjd79 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Looked all over net for which wires to use for a rear view mirror tap for our Uniden R3 detector, but couldn’t find anything. So after a little trial and error, I got it figured out. Our Navi is a 2018 Reserve which has the technology package. The cover just pops off with a little effort. Here is the link to the tap.

Ldjd79 Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 Well after a day of driving with the detector, I noticed it wasn’t picking up as far out as it normally does in my Silverado. I am thinking it may be the UV protection on the windshield. I have moved it to where the manual says to put toll tags and will try it out tomorrow. If the results are the same, a remote detector may be the only good option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horsepowerpro Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 out of curiosity, did changing the positioning help? Getting ready to wire my Uniden R3 into my very similar 2020 Navi (Reserve) and curious on placement. Thank you so much for the mirror tap info as well. saved me some work!

LHB Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 My toll tag experience, and from what I have been reading on various forums, they do not work anywhere on Navigator windshields with Heads Up Displays ... I suspect may have same experience with radar detectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HofstraJet Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) I couldn’t get the toll tag (Florida SunPass) to work anywhere on the windshield with HUD (18 Nav). Had to get an external and mounted it in the box under the wiper blade arms under the hood with zip ties. Radar detector (Escort 9500ix) mounted to rear view mirror with BlendMount has range significantly reduced and its GPS doesn’t work at all. Wonder what’s in the HUD windshields that causes this? Whatever it is, couldn’t they just put it where the HUD is? Edited April 17, 2020 by HofstraJet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
