It appears that most radar detectors on the market now requires a 12 volt outlet. The cords are not long enough to reach the 12 volt outlet on the back of the center console. Do any of the members have a recommendation for a cordless (battery-operated) radar detector?

 

have you looked into mirror tap from blend mount? piggy backs off the power connector for the rear view mirror

 

Wish there was a top of the dash 12v outlet.

 

Interesting. Thanks for the info and I will look in to it. Hate those cables hanging from the windshield.

 

Hardwire kit. <$40 for most brands. Use a fuse tap/add-a-circuit to get power from the kick panel, route the cable up your A-Pillar, and use a suction cup mount along the top of your windshield or mirror mount it instead.

You can also tap the mirror power if applicable. I usually look for a fuel pump fuse or other system that only energizes with the engine on and leave the factory wiring stock.

 

Mind dropping a link? Im not familiar with this

 

Here you go for the mirror tap!!

Mirror Tap and the Blend Mount. Works great. Pricey but worth it.
