Spectre500 Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 That's allot of tax dollars that could be put to better use, ridiculous. Thanks for the heads up as I hop on I-10 quite a bit. Thanks for the tip I'll try that method I was a Herk Engine guy, sure miss the TDY's.

Spectre500 Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 The 2 items, the mount and the wire harness are kind of spendy ($110)....but it is a slick set up and there are no other cleaner installation methods. Installed the "Blend mount" and wire tap into the RVM the other day, I have to agree it is the slickest set up. The Valentine 1 on its first day out saved me... had a bogey over 2 miles out running radar, talk about early warning!! I was wondering where he was... direction indicator showed him up in front..... it seemed like it took forever it, but there he was, tucked in line with a group of cars coming the opposite direction!!! Nice.... had plenty of time to get her back down to speed..... I like it.!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenh Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Do you know if these work against the new Lidar? That's all they use out here in CA, and its a point and shoot, so they have your speed as soon as the detector goes off or so they say? There is an outfit that sells a scrambler for Lidar that confuses the signal since there isn't time to get warned, but is 2 grand. Don't want to do that if these will work?

Grabber Posted May 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 This is what you need. It wires in under the floor board by where your left foot would be when you are sitting in the car. I had a stereo shop wire it in. They know exactly what wires to tap it into. Then you will be good to go. http://www.amazon.com/Escort-79-000041-01-Direct-Wire-SmartCord/dp/B0003NN83K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1334701586&sr=8-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewheelman Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 I guess I'm just a cheap-skate. I've got a Cobra radar detector that does a very good job (so far) and I like to switch it from vehicle to vehicle. I got it out the other day to use in Mustang and the suction cups would not hold. So, taking a cue from another forum, I dropped by my local bicycle shop and picked up a couple of handle bar reflector mounts, attached them to my rear view mirror stem and hung a pair of cobra brackets from them. Painted the whole thing flat black and it's very unobtrusive, holds the detector steady, and costs about $5........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07gt500conv Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 I too did the same thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRTGT500 Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Cool guys, I had the wire tap in my 2011 vette. Still have it and can use for my V1. Sure beats running wires and taking molding apart! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby73 Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Just read this post, Thanks for reviving it from the dead. Never knew about this product, pretty slick indeed. Just ordered a mount and wire tap. Sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby73 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 I just put the kit and wire tap in today, I have to say, it's a very easy slick clean install. Worth ever penny. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelbyville Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 I had about hit "the wall" with mods to my car but I do believe this will be the next mod! Going to do the truck at the same time (it probably has the potential to get me even more speeding tickets than the Shelby: 400HP, 800ftlb torque, STOCK!)
