Picks up redlight cams, speed cams the whole 9 yards. Incredible even has an led that flashes so you can just mute it and still know that they are still around. Everything for mine was custom mounted and looks good no wires or anything sticking to the windshield.

Have pictures of all of it?

I love my Passport 9500ix/blendmount/invisicord setup.

Z1NONLY · 01-23-2013, 04:33 PM

For those that want to do an integrated system, the approach I used on my 350Z may work for the 370Z:

I was having a hard time figuring out where to mount the display of my STi-R. I had already used some console space for my V1 remote display, and wanted the STi-R to have a similar "stealth" approach. (But the spaces on either side wouldn't work.

Then I realized that I no longer needed the volt meter because the STi-R had one built in. So...

(This is after I repainted my dash/installed new HU)

It's in plain sight, but I don't think it draws any attention and probably goes unnoticed when off.(parked)

I disabled the green side of the LED so it wouldn't light up my interior at night, and mounted the LED just below the display. (It's the little white dot below "VOLTS" in the pod. -Still blinks red when there is an alert)

Passport 9500iX, done deal

Had the car a month, put almost 3k miles on it and the V1 has saved me a few dozen times. Definitely reccomend the V1 and Valentine's customer service is excellent.

I have a K40 with a laser jammer. Everything is bluetooth with the sensors and the alert lights are custom installed into the dash. Nothing is visible, nice and clean. Oh and they will also fix your ticket for free.

Pictures!
My v1 was stolen last year and I am looking for fully integrated system that is not visible.

First day i had my Z i hardwired my escort 8500 X50.

GhazaliGTE · 01-24-2013, 11:33 AM

I have an Escort Redline and it's been good to me. Picks up cops from over a mile away most of the time! I always have it set on AutoNoX and it's just stuck to my windshield. I want to hard wire it or maybe change to a hidden one as well...perhaps in the future! But I recommend using one in the Z, it brings you peace when you want to unleash its wings haha.

I have one too and agree... I dont even feel the need to hardwire because the cord hugs the front dash and tucks down to plug..

The only thing that drives me nuts is the suction cup adapter i got. Falls off when the windshield is cold and drives me nutz!
