Non-V1 Hardwiring?

BenõrTheBMW · 04-04-2012, 10:27 PM

Getting a Radar Detector in the next couple days. Can't get the V1 because of price. So I'm thinking about a Whistler range, maybe a XTR 430 or XTR 690SE. Is it possible to fuse tap this? I dont want to short my whole car out so any kind of tips would be great too! Thanks!

You can buy an actual hardwire kit for both the 8500 and 9500 from Escort. The V1 isn't the only game in town that offers these kits.
