Radar Detector STI-R Plus NA with blue display
 

Hey. Here is my next project. I just got the recently released (Beginning of march) STI-r Plus NA. This has band segmetation which is nice and also GPS. I have an STI driver but with the convertible I leave the top down all the time while going into stores I dont want someone to be able to snag it. SO the suv is getting the STI driver and going to custom install this bad boy. I'm going to install the display module into the rear view mirror. The display and control module are usually red but I got the leds switch to blue so it would match the interior better.

Did you ever get this installed? This is the same radar detector I am looking at, except the Escort version.

Sorry I thought i did. Here is the completed stuff.

The actual radar box I had to mount on the lower bumper support beam so it actually is seen from the lower grill. I dont have a pic of this b/c it was dark and no light in a garage. this is not hard to install. Just get self tapping screws and install it.

I sent my mirror off to radar-mirror.com and a gentelman by the name of Scott Wheeler worked on getting the display into my mirror. this is the first time the STI-R + is being installed into a mirror. I got the mirror back and it looked like this.

Looks good right? well there were some issues. One is that I ordered the blue light and it was a little dark in the mirror. Still readable but dark. Also there was some wavyness in the mirror. He said ship it back on his dime and he'll make it right. He did tell me to make the display brighter it would show a little of the gold from the led display. I didnt mind that (and after getting it back I cant even see it hardly) Once I got the mirror back, it still had wavyness. He said again ship it back on his dime and he'll look at it. He finally saw what the problem was. This guy does quality work, and he checked it out after everythign was wired and in place and BEFORE he snapped the back cover back on. He did this because if there was something wrong he didnt want to have to snap open the cover again. The problem was that The cover snaped back into place without any problems or resistance. But it barely puts enough pressure on the mirror itself to cause bowing. There is no room b/c the circuit board is in that area and with the display there is no room. However there is room on the bottom right of the mirror which i agreed to do. Scott next dayed it back to me and all is well and it works. Impecable customer service from Scott Wheeler at radar-mirror.com. I would do buisness with them again. here is apic of the final. Sorry this is a cell phone pic

Completely hidden. I have not figure out where I am going to put the control module yet. I have it sitting between the ashtray and shifter for now.

That mirror integration is fantastic.

OH MY.... badass.... i need me one of those!!
