So then the only time you would have problems is if you are the leader in the pack and there is no one in front of you for miles, no? Otherwise the police will have turned the radar on to get readings from some of the cars in front of you

Exactly! I know BC I do it every day except for my days off,

Can you clarify what you are saying in the response to me? are you a cop or do you lead the pack on the freeway?

cop,

OIC thanks :tup:

so if some is in front of you by xxxx amount of distance (lets say you can see them but not miles away) then the detector should pick up the radar ahead no?

I will try and clarify my question in another description - so I am saying basically as long as your not the guy right out in front and a far distance from the car in front then your detector should detect the radar being used on the cars ahead of you......


Sorry I know it is the same thing twice I lol when I re-read it :rofl2: but I wanted to make sure I had it down right...........

LMAO, yes as long as your not up front or by your self your good, now keep in mind their is alot of types of radar, the one I told you about and then theres ones then track first and second cars but those are really expensive and not everyone has one. and one that uses a laser called LIDAR look it up thats really expensive and you can only use it by holding it like a gun and aiming it at the vehicle you are tracking.

Maybe try some foam padding where metal hits metal?

hi officer! do cops speed up too when not on duty? just curious.. :ughdance:

Hell I know I do don't mean to but the z gets away from me lol

:tup:

hell yeah!!! cheers!!

I don't mean to question, but doesn't your radar manufacturer state that 'popping' your radar gun is not sufficient to get an accurate reading as the gun may not read properly immediately on coming out of standby?

/thank you for your service to the community, sometimes it's a thankless job

Small update.

My 2014 has black/red, black/white and black/yellow wires.

Black invisicord goes to black/white, red goes to black red.

I just popped out the harness from the mirror and tapped the invisicord in. Easier to work with then trying to tap in with the wire harness still in the mirror.

Just to clarify...your Homelink and auto dimming still works?

You bet.

I love this place. I needed to know the correct wires to tap and boom, results on the forum!

Radar detectors aren't foolproof. They don't guarantee you won't get pinched for speeding. All radar detectors do is give you an edge. I've had 5 Escorts or V1s since my 1980 280ZX. They have saved me countless tickets over the years. Not all of them...I've had a few...but last year alone, "Instant On" and everything, my PassPort saved me from getting two tickets, and that's about right...two tickets a year. It has MORE than paid for itself.

swj123, just out of curiosity, why are you using MY avatar which is a picture of MY car as your own avatar? Seems odd, and just a little like bad form.

I am sure he had no idea it was YOUR car. He just probably found a picture of a black car and used it. Now that the knows, he probably will change the pictures to someone's else car.:icon23:

i wish there were pictures of everything! xD

Do our Z's require the "micro" version? Will the standard version work?

Standard Version:

Working on hook up. Point of clarification. Do you remove the black and white and black and red wires, and replace them with the new black and red wires?
If so, mine seem to be really in there very tight like they are clamped in or locked.

FYI, '14, touring/sport
Sitting in the driveway sweating bullets over this. In Houston and pretty hot.

Done for the nite due to darkness, but some guys on the Houston Zs gave me a tip to try tomorrow. Open the connector with a key. Insert the wires together. Red and black with red in the same hole and black and white with the white wire. Snap the connector back together. Then done.
I'll add pics of this part as well.

Does anyone know what wires to tap into for cars equipped with the OEM backup cam?

For those of you who hardwired dash cams into your mirror using the inviscord, did you go with the fuse option?

Unfortunately, someone interested in doing this won't read through to the end, and the OP probably isn't around any longer to update his original post. Nissan is no longer providing 12V to the mirror, so any product that taps into the plug WILL NOT OPERATE a radar detector.

I tried without success to install the MirrorTap harness, and even took it to a car audio shop to make sure. There is only 0.3V going to the mirror on newer Zs. Your only reasonable option to hardwire a radar detector is by piggybacking onto the radio fuse. Here's a DIY detailing this installation: http://www.the370z.com/diy-section-d...-detector.html

Mirror tap on 2017 370Z Nismo
 

Sorry you had trouble, but I recently installed the Blendmount and Mirror tap to my stock powered mirror with no problems at all. Perhaps your taps weren't pushed all the way in?

I must say, I purchased a $40 Cobra, for 1 year that radar saved my *** time after time after time, detecting lasers Quarter mile away giving me plenty of time to slow down, ive noticed police like to claim they got me before I get them, but I call ********, regardless, its saved my ***, up until last month....So i was on my way home from work same route i always take there is a Quarter mile passing lane and i usally pass all those slow drivers, i never worry about CHP cause my eyes are also always scanning another thing not all police have lasers you actually must take tests to be able to havr it in your police car or hwy patrol, that being said I know when a CHP has it on, anyways in this Quarter mile passing lane stretch There isn't much There isn't even a shoulder However There's a driveway Private I'm doing about 80 to 45 And I see him as I'm coming up the hill On my left side, This point in time I see him I know it's too late to slow down, But I also realize my radar has not So I knew he didn't have laser Therefore didn't really have proof of what speed I was going. so my plan is to ditch him yes ditch him Where I live there's multiple small private roads Unfortunately after that passing lane I ran into a bunch of slow cars I could have passed illegally But I figured that wouldn't do any good Though i could of took a couple different driveways Figure it was a lost cause, I saw his lights And so I pulled over, He asked me why I'm going so fast I replied how fast am I going, He then said I got you at 83 I replied bullship my radar didn't go off you don't have radar He then show me this ancient *** Mackintosh 90s looking laser gun, I was shocked and said how did I not pick you up He stated those don't work I then replied ******** it's saved me hundreds of times I then begged for him not to give me a ticket and that I would slow down and stop speeding That bastard gave me to get anyways, So yeah I do believe radars work why mine didn't I don't know someone if someone could answer that that be great

:icon14: Have you heard of sentence-ending punctuation? That is one helluva run-on. I think there was a question at the end? Good luck getting a response.

Because a $40 Cobra is a total POS? Get a real one (Escort/Valentine). And if he was using laser there's pretty much nothing you can do about it. By the time you get a warning for laser he has your speed. The only time laser detection can save you is when he hits someone else with it and you pick up some splash. To defeat laser you need different hardware, which can be illegal in many states.

Also, 80 in a 45 isn't a brilliant idea. 5-10 over isn't the worst thing in the world. Almost doubling the speed limit is something else entirely. And then you plan on running. The entirety of your post history is a trainwreck, but this is dumb even for you.

Last, did you really expect begging for a warning to work after you were doing 35 over, tried to bolt when he pulled out and argued with him?

I don't even read it Anything I phones you sleaze voice text to the bread

OK I respect your opinion Little insight on me I have an addiction to speed But one thing for sure and dam gonna drive I'm a class a driver I drive an 80 will or by days I'll week I'm on cruise control and 65 sometimes I'll do 70 But over all I just don't give a ***** I don't care about the law Let me do not like the wall Of course I'm in a big to not get a ticket That's completely besides the fact I don't play by the rules I heard of a black hat hacker Look it up I pay to get my record clean A few failed attempts AK scammers But eventually I found the right guy And about the Cobra Before buying a radar Get a lot of research Saw a huge debate 2 sides After coming to the conclusion a $60 radar versus a $300 radar there isn't much of a difference I live in California CHP is everywhere I see probably 30 A-day That being said in the course of a year It saved me countless times So in my personal opinion Paying more money for radar is stupidity Also as for my threads Again that's your opinion you can say their train tracks I'm fine with that because in her by feelings at all Here in California 6 p's have baseline chargers Challengers And jeeps I've gotten away in a from chevy Tahoe , 3G Eclipse and my 370z he was at a dead stop, so yeah if there wasnt traffic up ahead id of gotten away for sure!

I Appreciate your reply and your opinion

and if yoy cant read this dont worry I cant either ��������

Jesus Christ. Stop with the speech to text, or stop posting. This is unintelligible gibberish.

And stop admitting to illegal **** on the internet. :facepalm:

The guy, omgwtfreally, is a total disaster! :eek:

:iagree::iagree:

Wtf??? This is a complete bloody trainwreck!!! Just no!!!

invisicord worked fine, get the smaller pins - no problems
