Those prongs do have a good amount of resistance. When i installed mine i remember having to push a good amount of force to get the prongs in. I can take a picture of it and post it here later if you need it.

If you don't mind a picture would help me out greatly. Just so I can see how far down they go, what side of the main wire you put them on, etc. Thanks.

Meaning, if you turn the radar detector off while still plugged in will you get the normal range back?

It doesn't bother me, the garage door still opens.

I agree, and I'm sure it's just me being an idiot and missing something completely obvious. I just feel like I'm going to break something with the amount of force I use just to get the prongs in a little bit (and then they just fall out when I let go).

When i installed my MirrorTap, I remember I had to use a lot of force to get those things to slip in next to the wires. I had to play around on all four sides of the Wire to see which side easily went in a little bit first, then pushed down further with force until it was in all the way. I think I even initially bent the connector prong since I was on a side that was tighter than one of the other 3 sides, but bent it back in shape tried a different side and it went in. It is a lot easier if you remove the harness from the mirror as well.

Here are some pics of it installed. The prongs go all the way in. I wouldnt shave them down.

just find the right place to push through.

They may no longer exist. The post you are referencing will be 4 years old next week.

I'll do my best, though I am not using an invisicord. Do you have a multimeter?

Most likely the black wire is ground. From there, figure out which wire is switched power (i.e. +12V when the ignition is in the on position). Once you've confirmed those two wires, jam the invisicord wires into those slots and you should be good to go?

If you don't have a multimeter, go get a cheap one from Harbor Freight or something. It's an extremely valuable tool to have.

Don't you have the 2014 service manual?
The wiring diagrams are in there with the proper color codes.

I suggest you find the free downloads site and then get to work.
