HEY
I got my escort 8500 x50 and i bought the direct wire cord also. Thing is i dont have a clue on how to direct wire it. I havnt found any directions online or pictures to install this radar and was wondering if you guys could help me out. I went to best buy and they said that they would do it for 35 but i thought that was a little high. Also with this radar in my TL where do you think i should put the radar?

whats up, somewhere on this forum there is a thread for a 8500 hardwire. thats how i did mine


if yo ucant find it, it said:

get a "add-a-circuit" from any car store like pepboys.
it has 2 fuse holders and a red wire with a butt connector on it. on the drivers side fude box, take the fuse out thats for windshield washer i think and plug the add a circuit into it. then connect the power from the hardwire kit to the butt connector and ground the ground wire. mount the radar and hide the wiring in the panal. thats it. its reaaaaalll simple to do. i have mine right under the rear view mirror so it catches radar from the front and back
