Default Any invisicord users with GX470 ?

Trying to set up my Valentine 1, and I see posts for the invisicord for almost every other Lexus out there!

I just installed a V1 in my 08 GX. Instead of buying an Invisicord, I used an old telephone cord, and found a good write up http://www.myg37.com/forums/audio-vi...-detector.html
that shows you step by step how to build your own. The mirror harness on my GX had only 2 wires which made it very easy to figure out which was hot and which was negative.

Telephone cord wires- Red positive- Green Negative

Mirror wires- (Looking at harness, plugged in to mirror) - Outside wire Positive- Inner wire Negative

You will want to verify this with a volt meter or test light if yours is different.

Nice, thanks!

I already had the invisicord from the last car, but the mirror wiring info helpful starting point.

(Resurrecting a dead thread vs starting a new one.)

Can anyone confirm for me which of these is power vs. ground? I don't have a voltmeter (or frankly know how to use it). I'm sure I can buy one and figure it out, but if anyone can help me determine which is which it'll save me time and a few bucks as I got to install my invisicord.
