Has anyone hardwire their V1 radar into the auto dimming mirror or use a 12V power in the over head console . I was looking at using the BlendMount with the hardwire.

 

Just did that in my other car. Stealth cords makes it very easy for about $8.

 

"Stealth cords makes it very easy for about $8"

What are these and where can you get them?

 

If you google stealth cords it should be your first result. Once on their site, just click on valentine one.

If you mention NAGTROC during checkout, you will get 15% off. It is 12.95 before the discount.

 

that is great! thanks so much, i wasnt happy about splicing wires in the roof of the car, or my mirror, this makes it much simpler. Great post! (btw just ordered one now)

 

Which one was hot and which wire was ground?

 

just bought stealth cord, unless you like your radar detector on the drivers side right next ot your mirror ( i mean practically behind) then get a longer cord than 8in, its actually a little smaller than you think. HOWEVER, i did find a good spot to mount it and the +12 pos (red) wire goes in the same slot as the mirror wire closest to the passenger side the ground goes in the socket between the two mirror wires, i tried putting it in the same socket as the mirror ground and every time i switched gears (P->R or D) it would cycle the power, which i found interesting. Works wonderfully I'll post a picture as soon as i get my camera back in a couple days. PM me if you have any questions.

 

Sorry, should have mentioned there is a great bracket that attaches to the back of your rearview mirror to use with the stealth, I will try to get a link.

 

Go here: http://www.greatlakestrophies.com/ click on corvette stuff and the Valentine one mirror mount for the C6. I put this in my GT-R, works great!

 

mount looks neat, but i have a feeling that after enough times pushing the mute button the mirror will either A)keep moving, or B) the mount will eventually start to bend down, i have it just top left of the mirror with an 8" cord, get camera back tomorrow i'll post pics.

 

Question about the Stealth Cord for my Escort 8500 X50. I don't think the stealth cord comes with a fuse. Won't it damage the radar if there is a short? Thanks in advance for any input to my concerns.

 

You are tapping into wiring that is already fuse protected.

 

yea i dont think the day/night mirror is intended to get more power than the v1

 

do you have any pics and did you look at getting the blendmount for mounting your v1?

 

 

i mouted my don't know how to post the pics?

 

Thank You!

 

Just got a great mirror mount on Ebay for $31 with free shipping (made an offer). It's from a company called Performance Packaging. They have a separate website too. Mount is all metal, except the V1 clip which is included, and very high quality. Easy to install and adjust. Looks great. Here's one of their pics:
