Visor Holder, Black, DirectSmartCord 12ft, PowerAdaptor
|
|
This Black Radar Detector Visor Holder is combined with a Bel or Passport, direct wire, 10 foot, Smart Cord and a 12vdc cigarette power connector. Most radar detectors are designed to hook into the vehicle fuse box, but if you want a simpler electrical installation, this accessory kit will allow you to connect to the cigarette power jack.
VISOR HOLDER INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
Place the (black or gray) visor holder on the visor by running the two elastic bands over the top of the visor, centering the visor holder on the visor. The visor should be in the up position and when the holder is properly installed the two pockets are below the sun visor, facing downward. Use a cloth or foam above the visor to keep it level. The Velcro lid can fold over the radar detector to completely hide it, using voice alerts only; or you can locate the Velcro lid on top of the radar detector so that you can see the display. Run the power cord directly up to the cloth header at the top of the windshield. The Visor holder will hold the Valentine One, Passport 9500ix, Escort Redline, Bel STi Driver, Bel RX65. It also holds the radar module of the Bel STiR Plus, Escort 9500ci, Escort 8500ci, Passport Qi45 to name a few. It will hold your insurance papers and a pen, as you can see there is a pen holder up there too. The two elastic straps are wide and strong for long lasting support.
LONG DIRECT POWER CORD INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
Run the power cord with the telephone jack connector (RJ11) into the side hole of either pocket of the VISOR HOLDER where you wish to hold the detector. Holding the radar detector in your hand outside of the visor holder, plug into the radar detector. Gently slide the radar detector into the pocket, such that the power cord is not cramped on the inside. The Bel STiR and Passport 9500ci power cord comes out the back of the detector, rather then the right or left side of the detector.
Place your fingers up where the cloth header meets the windshield. There is a slight opening where the cloth header meets the windshield. Gently stuff the power cord in between the header and the glass windshield as you go across the windshield top. Run the power cord down the A pillar on the right or left side of the windshield. The A Pillar is the metal frame between your door and windshield. Stuff the power cord into the creases so that it is unseen. Take time and do it right. At the bottom of the A Pillar bring the power cord back along the dash top in the creases, stuffing the cable into the creases. Again take your time and do it the way you want to see it done. If you are running the BELTRONICS STiR or Escort 9500ci power cord, it has a connector in between the two cords. You can hide it as you wish or cut the connector out and splice the colored wires for one continuous cable. If you do not know how to properly do this, call a local installer.
As you approach the door with the cable, drop the cable down the dash side. Take a look at the weather grommet of the inner door frame by the dash. It is designed to keep water out, and you can run the power cord down the weather strip on the side closest to the dash. Don't run the power cord over the weather strip, which could allow water to get inside the vehicle. At the bottom of the dash, run the power cord down under the dash, and then up inside such that the wire never hangs down below the dash. Run it to the 12 volt power source that you wish to use, (Cigarette power Adaptor or the fuse box). If the fuse box, plug 12 volt lead of the power Cord to the appropriate 12 Volt accessory. The newer cars run CANBUS power systems and there are specific points where you can connect. Usually the power going to the Cigarette Lighter is the safest, but verify first.
CIGARETTE POWER PLUG INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
If you are using our special CIGARETTE POWER PLUG: The Cigarette Plug has as a red knob (12 Volts), and a black knob (Ground). The Long Direct Power Cord has a black lead (ground), and a black lead with a red stripe (12 Volts). Cut the female connector off and the round ground lug off both ends of the cable. Strip the wire back 1/2", twist the wire, and double the wire over. Unscrew the Cigarette plug (red and black) knobs until you see the thru hole. Slip the black wire thru the black knob hole and black/red stripe wire thru the red knob thru hole, and tighten enough to hold the wire but not enough to break the wire. If Cigarette Plug, simply plug in the CIG PLUG adaptor, and you are ready to go.
This package is for people who do not want to connect the Direct Wire SmartCord to the fuse box, but prefer to connect power to the cigarette power plug. It takes about 3 minutes to cut the 12V wire tip and Ground tip from the direct wire power cord, insert the red lead into the red screw post, insert the black ground lead into the black screw post of the cigarette adaptor and tighten both red and black screw posts down. Plug the cigarett adaptor into the cigarette power adaptor in your dash, and you are all set. We will do it for you.
This package is designed to hide your windshield radar detector or hidden radar detector up on the sun visor including the Bel STi Driver, Bel STi-R, Bel RX65, Bel GX65, Passport 9500ix, Escort Redline, Passport 9500ci, Escort 8500 X50 radar detectors. Wrap the direct wire, power cord around the top of the windshield and down the side of the A Pillar to hide the radar detector and the power cord from view at all times.
If you desire 360 degree radar detection with hidden components, this package will hide two remote radar detectors in this special visor holder package. One radar remote is hidden in the left visor pocket, facing to the front out the top of the front windshield; while the second radar remote sits in the right visor pocket, peering out the back windshield for 360 radar detection. Cables are hidden, tucked into the windshield trim around the windshield and plugged into the radar interface under the dash. Clean and neat. Absolutely best detection performance for police speed traps to the front and rear of your vehicle.Installing aremote radar detector up on the windshield visor will provide better radar detection performance than installing down in the grille.
Most hidden radar detectors are installed down in the front grille for invisibility. But when installing a radar detector down in the grille, the radar detector moduloe is too close to the road surface, significantly reducing radar detection sensitivity and increasing false alerts. It also costs more money to install a radar module in the grille. So, why should you install down in the grille and add more installation cost? Hide the radar module on the passenger visor! Keep your insurance papers in a visor pocket within easy reach. Nobody can see your radar detector hiding up on the passenger visor. This gray RDVH has wider elastic straps on the back and each strap is double stitched. If you purchased a similar radar detectort visor holder from another company with narrow, single stitch lines on the elastic strap, try this new RDVH for quality and well thought out design.
By moving the remote radar detector from the grille upto the windshield visor, you reduce heat damage from the radiator and double your radar detector performance. Likewise, by moving your windshield radar detector out of the hot 160 degree windshield, your portable radar detector can also be hidden on the passenger visor hiding it from view.
This visor holder is the perfect solution to protect your remote radar detector from grille heat damage; extends the radar detector life; keeps it out of sight from people walking by or driving by.
