I have a passport 8500 and I want to put it in the upper left hand corner of my windshield. Anyone have thier wires hidden or know how to do it?

I posted this in coupe talk as well because I didnt know where to post it.

 

It’s easy. Use an “Add a Circuit” in the fuse box on the left side of the dash and run it up the A piller tucked behind the cover. 20 minutes max.

I also have an 8500. What I did is mounted it from the rearview mirror using this mount http://www.countryjoycrafts.com/350Z/minimount.htm It is even has a MINI logo. Then I bought the 8 foot cable form escort, and an Add-A-Circuit from an auto shop. I ran the wire from the detector under the headliner (very easy to do), then down the right a pillar (with a small flat head and extra care, easy also). Then I ran it to the the fuse box and added it to the cigarette lighter fuse. Works great. If I ever get motivated, I'll take some pics

 

Well I hope you get motivated it would be great to see osme photos of your install!

 

I will be doing my Valentine 1 (hardwired) this coming weekend...

 

Ooooooo take pix!

'Tis what I did. Works beautifully. Proof that it works (and looks good)...folks get in, I start the MINI, they hear the beep, beep, boop, bop, buzz, beep of the 9500i, and then they say, "wow, didn't even see that up there...how'd you wire that thing?"

 

I'll try to document it...
