I just looked into this and the reduced price is $290. I think for that much I would just buy a new one and use one as a backup... not much of a discount IMO.

It's very hard to use an old one if it doesn't have the updates.

The new ones are quiet compared to what you have.

When you get near a car that has the lane departure and object in mirror detection warnings etc... it's going to go nuts.

Hi Everyone,

 

I am interested in buying the max 360 radar detector for my 2016 sierra i was wondering if anyone has already installed one into there truck? I am worried about the size of the unit. I like all of the features the 360 has to offer, however I am worried it is going to stick out and look out of place. Anyone have any pictures?

 

 

 

 

 

Hey, I'm seeing your post a bit late, but I have a 360 mounted in my truck. It's been working great. There are some trade offs when compared to other detectors, but the false alerting isn't the item I'd choose to use if I were crapping on this detector. It's stellar in that department, from my experience. The two places I have any gripes, and they're small gripes, are the paid service and the directional indicator speed.

 

The paid service just sucks, I paid plenty for the detector and don't think they need a monthly fee from me to mine my data and sell it elsewhere. Thankfully the service isn't required, and I don't pay for it.

 

The directional indicator used to be really bad. It would take forever for it to change from a front radar detection to rear when you passed a LEO. There was an update that greatly improved this, however. It's not instant, but it's decent now.

 

I don't know what the others are talking about with locking out police radar... the same gun/car would have to be sitting in the same spot 3 times when you drove by for that to happen and not have been missing any times in between. I also don't know if it can lock out KA, which the majority of LEOs use now. I guess someone could press the mute button 3 times and lock one out if it did allow KA lockouts.

 

Parting piece, it's the nicest thing to be able to drive around town with a quiet detector. When it alerts, you know with 95% certainty that there's a LEO around. Distance detected may be 2nd to the V1, but not by too far, and the feature set more than make up for it when you consider its all in one unit.

 

Nothing wrong with the V1, it just wasn't for me.

 

As for wiring mine, I have it tied into the RAP located in the driver fuse panel with an add a fuse. I use a remote mute button that feeds my detector. Works great. Just ran the wire up behind the driver side behind the a pillar airbag and over to the mirror where my detector is mounted. I'll take a picture tomorrow if I get a chance.

How exactly do I get to the wires required to do the wiretap. Is there a specific plastic piece I need to remove? Can somebody give me detailed instructions?

Red tap is in the top connection, second from the left. Black tap is in top connection, furthest to the right.

Where is that wiring harness located? Do I need to remove some plastic pieces around the mirror? Can you give me detailed instructions? Thanks!

You can probably sell your old one on eBay and get more for it etc...

For some reason they tend to sell well on eBay.

Ditto. Sold my 10 year old one on eBay for 250 and bought a new one for 359. Love my V1.

This is what my 360 looks like mounted. It's a big detector, but it ends up working just fine in my truck. Good luck!

Messaged you. Rearview mirrors connection/wiring. 2 plastic pieces, one is simple slide down, other is a hard pry pop off.

 

Hopefully will be able to follow up with a video soon.

Do you have SLT or SLE?

 

Hot wire should be top row second from the left.

Ground wire should be bottom row furthest to the right side.

As long as you don't have lane departure system, follow my video above for installation. It will be the exact same.

Thanks only issue I had was the plugs kept coming out of the extension.

Will work in it more later but it's working.

      Thanks!  I figured as such; GM and other manufacturers have used standard parts and harnesses across trim levels and such for decades.  I pulled the blank accessory cover off of my commuter van (a 2016 or so Chevy 15-passenger) years ago and found the plug for a USB outlet.  It wasn't connected to anything, though (I tried swapping in an outlet from another van).  I was a GM Tech years ago (late-90s) and was pretty familiar with my 2006.  I might be wrong, but I view newer vehicles (pretty much anything made in the past 20 years) as being a lot more plug and play.  Meaning, more unused wires and plugs unless you have the Mack Daddy of vehicles.

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.

      I always drive in Sport mode. With more driving, I am finding the initial response when accelerating is much quicker now🖕 Lou
