I searched but couldn't find... Have any of you guys hardwired your ****** 9500ix into the rear view mirror? If so, what do I need and how do I do it?
Thanks!
Matt

$15 seems alot but it saves time finding the connectors and making up the cord. Someone posted which prong goes where but I forgot where. It's pins 2 and 7 I believe with pin 2 being hot. I can look at mine when i get it down from the lift (changing shocks and new Woodhouse trans mount).
I'm glad I ordered mine. Now it's tucked right against the mirror.

They're smarter than that around here than to be out in the open. Plus they are in every car make imaginable. My friend just Pro-Charged a sheriff's new Challenger for them. Pretty fast and no visible signs it's a police car not even gov. tags.

That is the best way. I did one viper the old way(cutting/splicing) and the ACR with invisicord. Faster and cleaner.

Anyone have directions on how to install the invisicord in a SRT10?

Sorry I didn't get back with the answer. Unplug the wide plug from the mirror. The power or yellow pin of the Invisicord plugs into hole #2 and the black or ground plugs into #7. #2 is a little tough to push in since there is another wire there but just hold the pin tight and slide it in. You may want to use a small pair of pliers but mine went in without. Plug it back into the mirror and the other end just plugs into the ******. All done.

Thanks for your help!
That certainly sounds pretty easy but how do I know which hole is which?

If you are facing the back of the mirror #7 is on the left, facing the windshield #7 is all the way to the right. #2 has a blue wire in it and #7 has a black wire in it.
Correction to my earlier post (both holes have wires in them that you have to push the new pin next to). Good luck
If you're totally lost I'll try to take a close up and email it to you.

Cool! Thanks Sal. Does the power cable unplug from the mirror easily? I'm a little confused which product I should buy on the Inviscord website, they list Micro Versions and Standard Versions. Is 8" what you used?
Black Moon
Enthusiast
Yes it's a flat plug with a squeeze clip. I went with a 16" so I could move it around and maybe have mid windshield but ended up against the mirror so an 8" would be fine.

That's nice, I will order one but what is the part needed to hold the ****** to the mirror ?
Black Moon

I found a site that had them for $89 but forgot the name as soon as I saw the price. I use the large suction mount that ****** sells for like $19. Check their site they may have a direct to mirror hook up. I prefer mine a little closer to my line of sight since the car and music is so loud.
I was just thinking that same thing since I've been looking into a detector. Was under the impression that the mirror was always hot since the map lights worked with the key off. Was thinking about just stringing a new hot line up through the pillars if I did end up buying something.

The BCM will cut the power to the mirror in 15 minutes if there is no activity. Even with the doors open.
Hmm, guess I never thought of that. What exactly is considered inactivity? Engine off or no switches being pressed? I only ask because if the radar detector is actively doing stuff with the power I'd wonder how the BCM might interpret it.

A word of caution; Do not tap into the existing mirror wire. You will enviably invite gremlins into your CanBus system.
Gary Weeks

Mine has worked fine now for 4 years. Comes on when you open the door and goes off after 15 minutes of inactivity.
Like what? Can you explain further please. Is this just on the vipers or all cars as well?

It is not the highest rated but I am really impressed with both of my ****** Solo which are battery operated meaning NO wires. ****** just came out with an unbelievable suction cup for the windshield too. About 25.00 each for the cup and you will have a tough time even trying to pry the cup off. It was redesigned too so the detector sits closer to the glass and out of the way. The mount fits all ****** models.

I have the BlendMount wired into the back of the mirror on my 08. Great setup that works without issue.
