Default '19 LS 500 Radar Detector Installation

So I just installed my Escort Max 360 into my 2019 LS 500 and had to use the sensor power on the right side.




I had to figure out what wires were hot and ground. This is the harness I tapped into using wire taps I bought for the Escort.




For switched power, connect:

Black tap wire to the white harness wire

and

Red tap wire to the black harness wire

Works like a champ.

Hope this helps.

Chip

Regan.....I was going to be taking my LS in next week to have my 8500ci installed. The installer said he wasn't sure if the cruise control would cause interference with the K band and/or the laser operation. Are you aware of any issues? I had the 8500ci in my Volvo and there was no conflict between the Escort Radar and the cruise radar. Thanks for any info you might have.

Clem,

I can't answer your question as I haven't driven the car much as I am waiting to drop it at my body guy for PPF and ceramic and didn't want it chipped up before I got it to him. I haven't notice any interference in the first few days of driving it and I did have the detector installed but longer term testing hasn't been done yet.

Apologies

No problem. I had mine installed a couple of weeks ago, and at first I thought all was working well, but now believe I am getting some interference. I drove by one of those neighborhood speed signs the other day, and my radar didn't even go off. Very strange. I have had it throw up both K and Ka band warnings elsewhere, but I haven't spotted the police after it went off. I usually am able to spot them after I get the warning. This is an 8500ci unit from 2014, so not sure the technology of the device is working correctly with a modern car.
