Anyone install a radar detector in their car yet? I have a V1 and I know they have produced the mount that attaches to the mirror, but what are you doing for power? On my C5-Z I was able to plug into the back of the mirror with no cords showing, but the new mirror is different. I don't want to have a cord hanging down plugged into the console. Any ideas???

Mine is a K-40 with Laser jammer and is built in

That link didn't work for me?

Thanks for these instructions ... They are correct for the 2015 C7 ZO6 too.

Black to the Black and red pin to the full purple.

After reading previous C7 posts stating that you need to run back to the fuse box ... this seems like a better easier and cleaner way to go... Thank YOU for these instructions... it worked

I followed these directions for the C7 ZO6 - and just finished today.

After completing the instructions ... Im not sure you need to pull the camera cover, although I did.....

If you're married to the Valentine, you should give serious thought to the Valentine Savvy connector. http://www.valentine1.com/savvy/

Easily installed and the people who have it swear by it.

What's your opinion of the K40? Is it worth the added cost? Thanks.

I have it. It helped quiet down the constant alerts.

This.

I did a super clean install of the V1, SAAVY (into OBD port), and remote display just to the right of the 650/650 interior badge. I'll try and do an install thread next week.

Best,

I thought radar detectors were obsolete now? I thought it was all about laser jammers and things like that. I have a wireless solo II that worked well for me with my 06 C6...I do like that radar on the mirror. Is that a laser jammer? Whats the cost of a good one nowadays?

I have my V1 up and next to mirror.
I use the straight power cord tucked in the pillar and then plug into the adapter that goes in the 12v port. No tapping into anything required. I also did the same with my Escort Max in my other car.

Radars detectors are far from obsolete.

In my experience, the local / county cops use radar while the state troopers are more apt to use lasers and still radar. On interstates we see a lot of lasers.

The obsolete question isn't about laser jammer vs radar detector; the question is has Waze made both obsolete?

K40 saved me several times. Worth the cost.

Exactly. I use a V1 paired with Waze. IMHO you would have to seriously be not paying attention to get busted with that pair.

What is Wase?

Sorry team, but should have tested the URL before send this out! Connect to the black wire and purple wire for the mirror. If it doesn't work for you at first, then swap the leads!

Waze is a GPS navigation app for your phone/tablet that provides real time navigation with community imputes to report accidents, traffic jams and police locations. When you see a LEO or accident or are in a traffic jam you report it on your app by pushing a couple buttons and the location of what you report is provided to everyone else using the app. This has saved me a lot of time on a couple road trips where I 64 was at a standstill over an accident. Shows up on Waze including how bad it is and you can then navigate around it.

The point to point navigation is as good as any Garmin or Tom Tom I've used and best of all, it's free.

With my new Z06 on the way, I'm planning to go all out on with the Passport 9500ci (with mirror monitor) and AL Priority laser jammers. Looking at $3k. But as I drive around with Waze I'm really starting to rethink the whole thing. Waze works very well,....
