i hard wired mine and did a few other small interior tweeks. i have pics but if no one is planning on doing this i wont bother uploading them. it was very easy.

 

I got mine done right after i got it. It looks so much better now.

 

Can you please post them up? I am going to get mine in a few weeks and want to hardwire it. Also did you buy anything extra to hardwire it?

 

Nope i didn't buy anything extra. It should come with everything you need. I just took it to a car electronics shop and they did it for like $30-40 and only took them a couple of hours.

I'll go take some pics right now for ya.

 

take pics ive been trying to but have no where to put it.. cant even wire it to the fuse box.. so im kinda fuxed

 

Here ya go.

 

I hardwired mine using a cable to the back on the mirror and a mount that also goes on the mirror so there is nothing on the windshield.

I will put some pics up later and try to find a link to the mount.....

 

I didn't do mine i had a shop do it, but i think they connected it somewhere around the map lights in the overhead.

 

I bought this mount.....believe in the 23mm.

Does the Nav screen give you false alarms like I read about with the Pasport 9500i with Mike's Mount?

 

No it doesn't. the only time it goes off on the nav. is when u take it off the windsheild and hold it right in front of the nav. then the laser goes off. but up on the window ive never had a problem.

 

I did my own with an Invisicord. Took less than 5 mins and $15.

 

I actually had both the 9500i and now a V1. I returned the 9500i after about 2 weeks of the worst radar detector made....wait, 2nd worst....almost forgot about those Cobras.

I never had issues with the 9500i and my nav screen.....it just hated everything else. The V1 has been absolutely perfect since I turned X-band off and decreased the sensitivity on K-band. Before it would beep at everything.....the V1 with X-band ON was my navigation to CVS and Walgreens....just follow the beep!

Go with V1 and the mount I linked above....amazing setup!!!

 

thanks nice clean install!

 

Perfect, thats all I needed to know. Gonna order the V1 and a mirror mount from Mike when he gets back to me
