Hi there, the idea of hiding the wires so you can't see them and therefore can't take a picture(s)

anyway I hide the wires behind the weather strip seal, no need to use force just gently pry it in along the strip from the front to the back.

in the middle pop off the plastic cover and hide the wires there

since I had to run 2 wires, one for the rear camera and one for the backup power, I run wires on both sides, camera on driver's side and wire for backup power on passenger side.

as for the radar detector I used short connector wire (mirror tap) that plugged in to central light connector, right behind the rear view mirror

hope this helps

I'm envious of the Bowers & Wilkins system that is no longer offered. Harman/Kardon is not the same and the speakers don't light up.

me too, but what I actually have is HiFi system with upgraded mid speakers and B&W speaker covers with lighting, show and no go in a way (I'm fine with that for now, plenty for radio if u ask me)

I doubt I will ever go full blown B&W but I might upgrade amplifier at one point.

thanks to denaliman post awhile ago in the thread about the phones holders (in which I contributed as well) I found out about company Pitaka who makes MagSafe accessories for Samsung phones (S22 line in specific)

as well as thanks to nZtiZia post who mentioned the way he married the ProClip holder with ProClip's Garmin ball mount to his MagSafe charger

I decided to try it out in my car, here is the result:
