Easy & Clean Radar Install

Salsy1 · 09-09-2009, 06:02 PM

Just installed my Beltronics radar detector to the homelink mirror in my 09 Maxima. I bought the stationary mount from Chotis engineering for Country Joy linked on the first post of this thread along with the Invisicord. I chose to install it into the Maxima since we usually take it for longer trips instead of the Z.

My question to all who have done this-- how did you reattach the connector to the mirror around the new stationary mount? My cable coming from the post that runs to the mirror isn't long enough to run around the mount and plug in. I had to drill a big hole through the mount so the cable would slide straight through it and reach the mirror. I checked out my Z and it has the same setup where the cable plugging into the back of the mirror is dead center and right in front of where you will put the solid mount.

This was more work and aggravation than I expected.
