Default DIY: Integrated Radar Detector

Hi,

I integrated my Passport 9500xi using a power cord from “Stealth Cords”, this is a very short cable with a RJ11 port at one end and loose wires at the other; granted for $15 it is outrageously expensive, as they must be for less than $1 in parts, but it does make integrating a radar detector a very simple job.

  • Remove the rear view mirror (there is one torx screw)
  • Unplug the connector
  • Plug in the Stealth Cord in the mirror’s connector (on the wire side) (Black/Ground to Light Blue on the edge and Red/Power to the Orange on the other side)
  • Tape it all together with a some black electric tape
  • Put the mirror back
  • Enjoy

This is a 10-20 min job depending how handy you are with electrical tape !
