Escort 8500 radar hardwire

That was an interesting project, horay for me for shorting out and blowing a fuse that sets off the CE and flashing trac, hahhaha. Anyways, we couldn't get the 2 wire one to work for us, so we got a 4, and essentially did the same thing, but it worked this time. Who, knows? And we were able to reset the ecu and remove the CE light. Short of a few scares, it was a pretty clean and easy install, even ran the wire through the rear view mirror base into the headlinder, instead of next to it like mine.

I forgot my camera so I didn't get to take pictures of the actual install. But I have pictures of the finished product if anyones interested. PM or email and i'll send em to you.
Thanks again for helping Sean.
