I have a Bel Rx65 and a 2015 Corolla S. I ran wiring to map light so it's ready. Is it easy to release so I can pull the Bel down while not in car?

Yes. You attach the mount that came with your detector, minus the suction cups onto the Mirror Mount. The detector can be remove from the mount by pressing the release button on the detector and sliding it off just as you would now.

I have the GX65, and removing the detector involves unplugging the power cord and then hitting the release button on the detector to release it. It doesn't take more than a few seconds if you are in a hurry. The mount is discreet when unoccupied - I tuck the wire behind the mirror to keep it from hanging down.

yes you pull the pins up, pull headlight out unplug, then plug new unit in, took less than 15 minutes, had new bulbs all complete

It's pretty easy for it to come out. I rarely take mine out, but when I need to, it comes off with ease.

There is a spring that clamps over the back of the lamp in my car . I release the clamp and the lamp lifts out . It did take me a couple of minutes to figure the spring clamp out . I think they just sit in a slot in what you call the projector housing . I am not mechanical and I figured it out , so it is pretty easy .

Fits just fine in my 2007 Toyota Corolla S lighter. Removing it may take a little work, but it fits snugly and works without a hitch.

It appears that the pull chain switch can be removed and a blank put in its place. No blank or plug, however, comes with the light.

So there's no quick release, but the light does come off separately from it= s mount with a hand tight plastic screw clamp. Very easy to remove just the= light. And it makes a great hand flashlight. A good buy for the amount of = light it offers.

Hi Charles,I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with the Dash Cam release. It is a very tight fitting mechanism, so I can understand your dilemma. Releasing the camera from the mount just takes a little practice. As you know, the camera snaps into place when fitted into the mount. Therefore, it does take a little bit of force to "un-snap" the camera from the mount. Just make sure to squeeze the little lever that is on the mount closest to the camera before sliding the camera off of the mount. This will release a lot of the tension and give you the ability to more easily "un-snap" the camera from the mount.I hope this information is helpful. Thanks again for contacting us!

If it isn't auto dimming then there probably isn't power at the mirror. It's no big deal though, just tuck your power wire under the headliner to the A pillar and down to the area below the dash on the driver's side. Next, it's just a matter of locating a power source that turns on and off with the ignition and tapping into it. Escort makes a hardwire kit that is plenty long enough and I believe has everything necessary to wire into the fuse box. It also has a mute button and indicator leds built in. It should fit if there is fairly decent space between your mirror and windshield.

There is no real way to secure it from theft. But it is easily enough to remove, put in your trunk, and re-install when you are ready to leave again. It takes about 10-15 minutes to adjust the tension just right, and once you do it a few times, it's even easier. In fact, you should check the alignment, tension and positioning before each trip.

No, this uses less power than me accidentally leaving my map light on overnight. Most newer cars (especially Japanese makes) will switch the outlet with the ignition.

Just apply upward pressure to pull the device off. Very easy. I have about 4 of these around and love them. So much easier than the two-piece devices.

You have to relocate it to a place that is visible and has a light. My vehicle had an alternate location to the side that works fine.

If you buy the cigar lighter adapter from battery tender and place it on the dash or rear deck inside the car, that will work the way you want. You can just leave it hooked up all the time. If you use the supplied clamps it will almost certainly fall off the battery terminals while you drive. Not Good.

I had to take my car to a nearby garage and get them to unhook it for me, which they did quite graciously. I've watched two people unplug it - they both lay on their backs so they could see under the dash, then pressed the "sweet spot" to release the device. I think it helped that they were both young guys - I'm a middle aged woman and when I tried reaching around the device from the front, I just couldn't exert enough strength in the right spot to release the doggone thing.

It is very easy to take off. The headlight is attached simply by an online ring and the battery pack is just velcroed on.

There is a plug that will release if pulled with a moderate force. I have gotten off my bike, forgot to unplug the cord, went to walk away and the plug came apart. However, I have adjusted and lubricated the plug for easy separation just for such an event.
