the red and black on the BOTTOM strip right, not the top plug? because I tried it in the brown/white stripe and black and the radio turned off, the wipers turned on and i almost sharted
I have the invisicord for my V1. I mounted mine on the left side of the mirror on the dot matrix. Can't see it from the outside at all. So much easier than hardwiring it.
My V1 should be here in about an hour so ill post pics after the install. Already came outside and took the old one down and got the wiring for the valentine ready to go
Spent 20 minutes instead of $20 and made my own invisicord today using the original cigarette lighter wire. Its just a cheesy cobra radar detector but it worked great. Might add a 2amp fuse in the future. When I get a V 1 I will buy a real fused invisicord.
mine has a landline type plug for my detector and 2 terminals/pins that are used to tap into the mirror. THE IDEA, at least a good part of it, is that ANYONE can run a wire to the lighter........mirror is a bit cooler :lol:
I did mine different from everyone. I didnt want to cut the cig adapters off of my gps or aftermarket satellite radio. So I tapped into the switched lighter outlet and ran a custom extra cig lighter under my dash, then added a fuse and put a two way splitter onto it so I can run my GPS and XM both switched, but can move them from car to car anytime I want. For the V1 I tapped into that wire and thats how it gets power
Thats a good idea too. I normally use the GPS on my phone before my garmin because i usually forget the garmin at home. The only other thing i plug in in my cell phone charger. I did this to my radar detector because i wanted it up and out of the way by the mirror and i was sick of the curly wire on my dash. the wire plugs in to the detector any way if i wanted to remove it.
I just cut the wire, stripped the pos and neg wires. Removed the clips on the pos and neg wires on the mirror plug and wrapped them with the wire from the radar detector. re inserted the clips in to the plug and plugged it back in. Mounted the radar detector mount where i want it and plugged the wire in to the radar detector and bam im done. no messy wires, nice clean look and clear wind shield. and now i have a plug for my garmin for the few times a year i actually use it.
