hey what's up again, alright so i just got my TL-S Saturday and received my Escort 9500i today : ) but now my question is, should i hardwire it!? im really afraid whoever does it, is gonna mess something up... to make me feel more comfortable, does anyone have ANY radar detector hardwired, or am i going to be the first? Im really nervous/paranoid somethings gonna happen to my car.... i worked my a$$ for this car and im afraid for even the slightest thing to go wrong with it, so your help would be appreciated, thanks in advance

If you search you'll find a few people that have hardwired some detectors. I know there's a thread with pictures of someone hardwiring a V1 in their car.

Hardwiring a detector is a easy 20min job (30min tops).

I hardwired my Bel RX-65 to the rear-view mirror using the invisicord (www.invisicord.com).
It took me about 15-20 minutes and I have no electrical expertise/experience whatsoever!

I just hard wired my 9500 into my new TL-S after removing it from my 'o4 TL where it was also hard wired. Piece of cake job,,,,go for it.

What length invisicord did you use?

best buy would charge you $40 bucks to hardwire it. i was thinking about doing that. i just picked up my passport 9500i today.

yeah i ended up doing it.... but the guy used the cord it came with... i was pissed at first but i kind of like it cuz if you need to pull it further out, theres no need to pull more slack and stuff like you would for the other non stretchy telephone like cord thing.... (i know, im good at describing things lol)
