Easy & Clean Radar Install

So then the only time you would have problems is if you are the leader in the pack and there is no one in front of you for miles, no?

Can you clarify what you are saying in the response to me? are you a cop or do you lead the pack on the freeway?

OIC thanks

so if some is in front of you by xxxx amount of distance (lets say you can see them but not miles away) then the detector should pick up the radar ahead no?

I will try and clarify my question in another description - so I am saying basically as long as your not the guy right out in front and a far distance from the car in front then your detector should detect the radar being used on the cars ahead of you......


Sorry I know it is the same thing twice I lol when I re-read it but I wanted to make sure I had it down right...........

LMAO, yes as long as your not up front or by your self your good, now keep in mind their is alot of types of radar, the one I told you about and then theres ones then track first and second cars but those are really expensive and not everyone has one. and one that uses a laser called LIDAR look it up thats really expensive and you can only use it by holding it like a gun and aiming it at the vehicle you are tracking.

I don't mean to question, but doesn't your radar manufacturer state that 'popping' your radar gun is not sufficient to get an accurate reading as the gun may not read properly immediately on coming out of standby?

/thank you for your service to the community, sometimes it's a thankless job

Small update.

My 2014 has black/red, black/white and black/yellow wires.

Black invisicord goes to black/white, red goes to black red.

I just popped out the harness from the mirror and tapped the invisicord in. Easier to work with then trying to tap in with the wire harness still in the mirror.

Working on hook up. Point of clarification. Do you remove the black and white and black and red wires, and replace them with the new black and red wires?
If so, mine seem to be really in there very tight like they are clamped in or locked.

FYI, '14, touring/sport
Sitting in the driveway sweating bullets over this. In Houston and pretty hot.

Done for the nite due to darkness, but some guys on the Houston Zs gave me a tip to try tomorrow. Open the connector with a key. Insert the wires together. Red and black with red in the same hole and black and white with the white wire. Snap the connector back together. Then done.
I'll add pics of this part as well.
