Made this a few days ago, thought I'd share with anyone who feels like doing a small cheap mod for their detector. I got the cable from an electronic supply warehouse (MRO) but I'm sure you can get these anywhere. Just a standard 4 pin connector.

I also wrapped mine in black heatshrink to hide the cable better, and soldered legs from a massive capacitor on the ends of the wires to act as prongs to mock the invisichord. Holds on solid, no contact issues either.

For mine, the black/red on the cable were ground and the yellow/green were hot. I just probed the charger with a multimeter to find that out. I'm sure it's the same on most detectors but instead of potentially frying your $300 toy, take ten seconds to confirm it.



Now I just need to make a custom mount and I'll be satisfied.

 

thats awesome~

 

nice diy

 

How are they connected into the mirror? or are they ?

 

The pink/black wire on the mirror is 12v and the black is ground. I soldered legs on to the wires from the cord and pushed them into the copper tabs where the wires from the G35 power the mirror from.

 

Damn $90 for a plastic clip. That could be going towards a Z tube..

 

yeah i need to find myself a good clip have the cord just waiting on a clip let me know if u come with something.

 

Gold plated? That's still ridiculous. My suction cups work perfect, I wouldn't pay more than 40 just to have it moved an inch over and be hanging from the mirror. That's a little crazy.

 

well shiit. i don't have that mirror.

 

The next closest I found is in the A pillar, there's a 3 wire strip cable that runs down it and has a 12v and a ground. You could tap into there and still hide wires.

 

Nice discovery with the mirror.
You gave me new ideas to spend money on now

 

Haha I can't say I discovered that, it's genius but I saw it on myg35mods.com
