^ $22? considering that the escort and valentine use telephone jacks, you can make yourself.

imho, it's a simple DIY. short of going into details on how i made mine (and another 2is member's), you just need to know which wires to tap and how to tap.

the DIY guide shows a lot of options, but for (non-wire cutting) hardwiring there's really only one way.

i'd share more info, but then i'd be giving away my "secret".

 

no dude, i meant the bracket mount for escort 22$ shipped from Mike3348 , i just telling soul how to tap with telephone wire...

 

here is my set up

 

Any rattling from your setup blitz_714? Seems like if the roads got rough that would rattle against the mirror

 

no sir , its every sturdy , the mount from the guy mike3348 and has 2 nuts and bolts on each side to tighten up... i only did that with my hand.... and already very sturdy, u can always tighten up with tools but that i dont think its necessary... love it oh yeah and i tapped on the rear view mirror for direct wire too.

 

hey Kody

It look really good =)

 

thanks~
that's exactly what I wanted to see
so now I gotta get a hold of the wires to tap
where did you get the phone line from? did you have to cut it or is it pre-cut?
thanks again

Ken

 

hey Kenny

He got it from here

hey thanks alvin, oh yeah Kenny if u have old phone line u can use that too save yours self some bucks.. dont have to soldering anything just straight tap wires and use electrical tape and make sure you tape is good... there are 4 wires in the phone line, just cut out yellow wire and black u dont need... only use green and red... and tap in rear view... red goes with orange in the mirror and green goes with blue.... and its Voila

 

Actually the Blendmount one is $69.00, not $49

This makes Mike3348's for $32 shipped even more enticing!

 

There are 2 Blendmount mount kits, the non adjustable BV1 for $49 and the adjustable BV1-HINGE for $69. They only show the adjustable on their website now though.

But you are right Mike's mount does the job for the right price.

 

Doesn't look level. Have you checked it with a spirit level?

 

Hey Batman75 how much did it cost for the that sweet set up? Mainly interested in the price of installation..i know this threads a little old hope you're still checking..thanks!

 

I can't remember how much is labor and how much is parts, but the overall cost was $1495 for the Laser Interceptor Quad, and $2200 for the Passport 9500Ci (which includes the Escort ZR4 laser shifters as well).

I would guess the labor component is $400 for the Laser Interceptor and $700 for the Passport 9500Ci. They could install the Passport for $400 as well but the mirror adds $300. Overall it was about 2 full days of work.

Also if you are buying laser interceptors, you should go to a dealer who has their own lidar guns for testing purposes. A lot of places do a shoddy installation and the interceptors don't work properly. Mine are 100% effective because they were aligned to perfection by testing against 5 lidar guns.

 

I don't have an ORANGE wire on my 08 IS-F with the mirror fix (not that I think the fix changes things since the harness comes from the car). Here is a picture of what color's I have. There is a blue, red, white w/ black stripe, black, and pink.
