Default Radar detector
Hey guys - I have a 2013 gs350awd f sport ---

Looking to get the escort 9500ix radar/laser with GPS support detector with the smart cord for apple.

Just wondering if anyone else 1. Has experience with this setup. And 2. Has installed a radar detector in there car and kept it looking clean?

I don't want wires everywhere - so any ideas on how I can keep it clean would be much appreciated. Pics if possible. Thanks!

Do you have pics of your setup? Or can you text or email them?

That's a clean setup with the s9. Wonder what the real differences are with the s9 and 9100

Get the stealth cord and just pin out with a meter what you need for ground and 12v off the mirror.
Any car stereo shop can bang this out if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself.

It sounds like the way to go is the unit 9500ix... The stealth cord(not sure we're to get)... And then what mount?

Thanks

Just go to the Blendmount web site and look up Escort and Lexus GS350 and it is all laid out for you.
