What You Need
2-Pin vs 4-Pin
Important: 2-Pin and 4-Pin systems are not cross-compatible. Your detector, mount, and power cable must all use the same pin configuration.
- 2-Pin (Power Only): Your detector functions as it does today. All functions on the detector work. No remote mute switch.
- 4-Pin (Power + Mute/Alert/Data): Allows you to use a remote mute hardwire kit.
Unsure which one you need? Message us before ordering and we’ll help you confirm!
4-Pin Wiring Guide
This guide is only required if you are installing our 4-pin mount to connect with your existing Uniden SmartCord Hardwire Kit.
Not using a SmartCord? Save time and select our standard 2-pin option instead.
| Pin | Function | Mount | Uniden Cable |
|---|---|---|---|
| P2 | Mute input | Yellow | Green |
| P3 | +12V power | Red | Red |
| P4 | Ground | Black | Black |
| P5 | Alert LED output | White | White |
P3=Red=+12V and P4=Black=GND never change between brands.

Know your mount - 2-Pin vs 4-Pin
2-Pin
Power only - your detector runs and functions as normal. Best for simple hardwire installs.
4-Pin
Power + data - required for the Escort Smart Cord, Uniden Remote Mute Kit or Valentine One ESP accessories.
2-Pin and 4-Pin are not interchangeable — forcing a mismatched connection can damage your detector.

Best bond, first time
A rock-solid hold starts with clean glass
Every RAD MAG receiver mount now ships with a professional isopropyl alcohol prep wipe - so the adhesive grips bare glass instead of dust and film. One quick wipe means the strongest, longest-lasting bond.
Stronger bond
Easier install
Right first time
Your 30-second windscreen prep
1
Wipe the spot
Clean the mounting area with the included isopropyl wipe.
2
Let it dry fully
Wait until the glass is completely dry - the alcohol flash-evaporates in seconds, zero residue.
3
Press & mount
Onto fully dry glass, press the 3M VHB firmly from the centre for the strongest bond.
Important: let the windscreen dry completely before pressing the mount's 3M VHB tape into place - dry glass gives the strongest bond.
Frequently asked questions
2-Pin vs. 4-Pin Mounts — What’s the difference?
Are 2-Pin and 4-Pin mounts interchangeable?
No. They are completely non-interchangeable. They use different physical connectors and internal layouts. Mixing components or forcing a mismatched connection can permanently damage your radar detector.
Does my detector still fully function on 2-Pin?
Yes. All on-device features (Mute, Mark, top buttons, display, and audio alerts) work perfectly normal on both versions. "No alert out" simply means the 2-Pin mount cannot send signals to external, separate dash accessories (like a remote mute button or motorcycle helmet link).
Which one do I need?
| Mount Type | Best Used For | Confirmed Models |
|---|---|---|
| 2-Pin (Power Only) | Simple, clean hardwiring (e.g., mirror taps or basic fuse box power) where you just want the detector to power on and function as usual. | Standard power-only setups. |
| 4-Pin (Power + Data) | Required if you are using the manufacturer's factory "smart" hardwire kit with a remote mute button. | Uniden R4 / R7 / R8 / R8NZ, Escort EZ Mag, V1 Gen 2. |
⚠️ Bottom Line: If you want to use a Escort Smart Cord, Uniden Remote Mute Kit or Valentine One ESP Devices and are comfortable with soldering wires get the 4-pin. Otherwise, the standard 2-pin is fine for most users, If still unsure, message us before buying. 😊
