Hardwire Valentine 1 install?
#18
I tried to make my own invisicord by cutting a phone wire and tapping the red and blue wires (cutting the green and yellows off). When I plugged them into the rear view mirror, my X50 just makes a winning noise. I solder the connectors so I'm pretty sure I have good contacts. Do I need to do something with the yellow and green wires?

Sorry I meant black not blue. And actually no, I'm trying to find a wiring diagram but can't find anything on it
Looks like ground is green Unfortunatly I broke my connector trying to jab it into the RV mirror plug. Will have to pick some more up tomorrow...

Thanks!

Maybe I had a bad connector somewhere, but my attempt was useless.
Anyone now where to get some quality wire splicers?

did you tap the right wires on the phone cord? Red -> power, Green -> Ground
I just used a pair of scissors to strip the cables.

Very interesting setup. I currently have my 8500 hard wired to the fuse box. What kind of wire kit did you use for this application, and how does it connect to the mirror harness?
