black/red - switched power
yellow - always on power
black - ground

so plug the yellow wire of the invisicord into the harness where the black/red wire is. Plug the black invisicord into the harness where the black wire is. Plug back in the harness and you are done!

Par4 et all,

Thanks for the advice on installing the radar detector. I ordered the 23mm mount, got the straight cord from escort.com and went to it. I used the switched power on mine. BTW, I have had both the V1 and now the 9500ix. I can't tell you how great it is driving down the road with no false alerts (auto gps learning/marking ROCKS!)

I got my mount and invisicord in the mail today and just finished the install. Looks great.

One little hiccup I had is my homelink connector had a black with red stripe, a black with yellow stripe and a black with white stripe wires. I didn't have a solid black wire in my homelink connector. Just a heads up for anyone else that has this situation, the black with white is ground and the black with red is switched power.

Thanks for the tip

I think I will order my mount and cord later today.
