RichardCranium Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I'm anxious to try this out. I wired up my radar detector today and mounted the MixIt that I got from Carlo. The Mio GPS was already pretty cool since it has a built in MP3 player that mutes when it needs to give you a direction. Now with the MixIt I can pipe the radar detector thru my ER6I's so I will actually realize its going off. I also finally quit procrastinating and installed a relay so everything works off the key. This was sort of a half-assed attempt to clean up my mess of wires that were running amok under the seat. I picked up a project box as radio shack and basically stuffed my power strip in it. I made a hard connected power cord for the radar detector from a phone cord. I read about it on teh interwebs and had to try it. It actually works with a standard phone cord. I wanted to fuse it with a 2a fuse and the fuse wouldn't fit in the box so thats why both ends of the fuse go into the box. Now I just need to install the cruise control.

PlasticxxHead Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I tried to use a standard phone cord to make my Escort a new hard wire kit.. kept getting a low volt signal.. I bought a set off ebay .. one with a mute for the car and one straight hard wire for the bird.. Hmm.. wonder why my phone cord didn't work..??

RichardCranium Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 Just fyi I have a nasty ground loop with this set up as is. From what I have read the issue is fixed with the Mix-It 2 which also has a priority circuit which will allow whatever is plugged in there...your radar detector for example...to mute everything else when it goes off. They sell a cord specifically for the original Mix-It to use with an Escort/Passport that eliminates the ground loop. For the time being I just unplugged my gps from bike power and ran it off its battery. It works for short trips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
