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?

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.

Just to clarify...your Homelink and auto dimming still works?

You bet.

I love this place. I needed to know the correct wires to tap and boom, results on the forum!

With that being said each to there own, it up to you just my 2 Cents.

Radar detectors aren't foolproof. They don't guarantee you won't get pinched for speeding. All radar detectors do is give you an edge. I've had 5 Escorts or V1s since my 1980 280ZX. They have saved me countless tickets over the years. Not all of them...I've had a few...but last year alone, "Instant On" and everything, my PassPort saved me from getting two tickets, and that's about right...two tickets a year. It has MORE than paid for itself.

I am going to get a smaller box to make it a little lower profile. But it works good and nothing on the dash.

swj123, just out of curiosity, why are you using MY avatar which is a picture of MY car as your own avatar? Seems odd, and just a little like bad form.

I am sure he had no idea it was YOUR car. He just probably found a picture of a black car and used it. Now that the knows, he probably will change the pictures to someone's else car.

Joker_J · 01-28-2015, 02:59 PM

i wish there were pictures of everything! xD

Do our Z's require the "micro" version? Will the standard version work?

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.

Does anyone know what wires to tap into for cars equipped with the OEM backup cam?

Filipe · 11-27-2016, 05:26 PM

For those of you who hardwired dash cams into your mirror using the inviscord, did you go with the fuse option?
