Plus being able to switch between city and highway mode improves it's performance, and being able to turn off that annoying x-band is extremely handy for when you're driving in town. I think it's worth the extra $ personally.
Here's what I used to power it through my mirror
And here's how to install it
I don't use a blend mount because I don't want to lose visibility. I just use the suction cups and put it right next to my mirror, you don't even notice it there, and it looks very clean. |
9500ix for me. I use a bracket that mounts to the rear view mirror and looks clean and doesn't shake around like the ones that mount to the windshield with suction cups. Hard wired it in my Silverado crew cab and ran the wires from the fuse box up through the A pillar to the rear view mirror and down through the bracket. Very clean and not noticeable at all, looks like part of the mirror. Radar Roy at
www.radarbusters.com shows how to hot wire the units. here's a link to a bracket that I have in all three of my vehicles so I can transfer the Escort.
