9500ix Radar custom hard wired
Today I was able to install my new 9500ix with a red screen. I'm not a big fan of dangling wires so this was my solution. The radar detector itself is a typical install next to the mirror so I did not take pictures of it.
This install was done with a hardwire kit and tapped to an ignition source behind the fuse panel on the drivers side.
A track needed to be cut to slide the circuit board through. A replacement cap can still be placed there if needed and it's only $7.
Test fit
Final but I am thinking of trimming a bit off the top of the passport sticker.
I feel that it does not look great really close especially with a high res camers but in person it looks better. Here is my view.

Looks so much cleaner. I have a V1 hardwired with the concealed unit on the dash. That way I can look at my speed and the 'threats' at this same time without taking my eyes off the road for too long.

Thank you.
After reading so many post I was ready to pull the trigger on the V1 especially that it integrates to a laser Interceptor that I purchased and on its way. Unfortunately the inability to distinguish or mute false alarms automatically pushed me over to the 9500ix. I had to pay extra for the red screen. I had to purchase a 9500i (red screen) then pay $130 for an upgrade to the ix which keeps the red screen but adds all the ix features. It ended up costing more than a regular ix with a blue screen.
I will be putting the laser interceptor and 9500ix to the test on a 9 hour drive to Ohio next month.
Also the redlight camera warning on the 9500ix is awesome. I have 7 of them within 1 mile from my house and they keep on adding more.

Nice! I run a V1 up high and a Blinder M27 dual head up front. My switch is in the same blanks you used but I use the two on the right b/c I don't have valet or rear sunshade so I have a custom flat 3 way switch and the LED is on the blank beside it. I should put a pic up but it's late!

I would love to see it. Please post pic. I have not installed the laser interceptor yet so I am very curious as to where you placed the M27. Please provide feedback on the M27 if its okay.

I have an S Line grille and I found this picture of an A3 with a similar grille. I will be installing in the same way as far as the jamer heads. It seems like the SLine and S6 grilles are perfect for the LI ljammer heads.
More pictures of the A3 install: http://82.119.234.147/novili/smf/index.php?topic=234.0
