any radar detector mount solution for F12?

I'd also love to know if someone has figured this out. The older threads all seem to have trailed off with people hitting dead ends. How limited is adjustment with the 2034? Is the mirror usable or does it have to be positioned such that it no longer provides a view out the rear window?

 

Thanks for the effort with BlendMount. It's hard to believe nobody is making something like this.

 

I ran into the same fitment problem for the GTC4Lusso

Thanks for sharing your findings and all of those images. I came across your thread when searching earlier but unfortunately it seems like your end result was the same? What are you using for a mount these days? A suction cup? Did you get the mirror tap working?

 

has anyone hardwired theirs through the center light section?

 

mine is hardwired in my ff that way to the aftermarket radio

I used a sticky mat instead of a mount

I find that to be a much cleaner install, i don't have a good photo but i'm going for a test drive in a few and will take one

 

Thanks Vee.
Yeah, I've tried those pads. They don't work for me I want to hardwire the power outlet from the center light on top. I'l ok using the suction method on the window but I don't like the wire down to the cig. lighter. I have it hardwired in my F430 .....just wanted to know if anyone has done this in the F12

 

Can I ask why it doesn't work? I've used them for all my cars and I've never had one fail me even just sitting there off while I tracked a vehicle. As for the hardwire from the top light, it should work no problem, looking at the fuse box it should have enough juice. otherwise you should have no problem with the wire going to the windshield either from the roof lining or the top of the dash and into the cabin fuse box

 

I drive like a maniac....LOL.

 

Haha same, if you get the right one it won't move an inch!

 

The lateral shifts and movement wasn't the problem. When I go through a severe dip on the road at high speed, that is the problem and flies off. It happened when I went over a sharp depression on a straight doing 135mph bottoming out. This was in my F430. (it's not stock)

 

Good to know about a unused fuse slot but I was looking to tap into the power in the center console and having the line come out from the module near the V1 I have suctioned. I have that set up on the F430. I'll try it but wondered if anyone here has done it on the F12.

As far as the carbon cup holders.....That's not me. I have carbon holders now but the secure tabs are silver. another option on this is to buy a used holder and have it carbon overlay done....but that may be just as much as buying the stock CF holder depending on the CF service. Me personally, wouldn't get the chinese stuff. The Ferrari CF cost is around $1,500. Not too bad.

 

yes, Eurospares.
I understand about the 3rd party support...but honestly, most their CF part prices are outrageous compared to the quality produced. A lot of them outsource them from China. My advice is to go factory....good luck.

 

Vee,
I went and ordered these just to try them out and these are way more stickier than what I had tried before. I'll use these in the BMW with my phone because I don't think they meet my needs in both the ferraris. Thank you!

 

As far as power connection goes, I have successfully used these on all of my cars. It simply hardwires into the power provided by the rear view mirror.

The dealer installed the mirror tap for me. The power cord works the same way as the standard hook up.

 

Yes,
This is also what I used in the past. My question was, has anyone tapped into the wires in ceiling light unit.. Below is the picture of the underside of the light and sound unit.

Glad you gave em a go! I'd venture they'd work just fine in the F12 too

here's mine in my FF, as mentioned I'd post my install

That looks good but I like mine mirror area mounted. I may use it for my phone. That thing is sticky!!

 

it's an important device so you gotta like where it is. I of course forgot to take a pic of my mute button, it's mounted below the HVAC

But yes they're very useful, super sticky
