    Default 9500CI display - where did you put it?

    Anyone want to share places and ideas as to where you put your display module for the 9500CI? I tucked mine next to the a pillar between the dash and the windshield and I can't read it at all in the sunlight. Pics of your install would be great as well if you have them!

    Thanks,

    Neil

    Pictures please.

    I’m having a dilemma as well, but I think I found a solution.

    I’m going to install the display and remote above my RVM close to where my 9500I is.

    I always feel in the gauge pod is the best place IMHO. I think The Staton has his there and it looks good. DJ has his flush in a console above the rearview mirror. Im sure a few users will posts pics, but there are some if you search.

    I'm thinking of putting mine behind the glass in the gauge cluster some where.

    Mine is mounted to a piece of aluminum and tucked in at the very bottom of the left A pillar as well. Control module is mounted to the dash below. I have no sun fade issues at all and with the control mounted where it is I can switch the laser shifting off or shut the unit down with out even moving my shoulder. My car is a 08 Infiniti G37s. You also cannot really see it form out side the car unless you stick your head in the window!

    That is what I did, and it works pretty well in that location. Yet I am going to remount it a bit more forward since the display dims a bit to quickly in twilight conditions. I really wish that Escort would add a HIGH or LOW photocell gain option in Preferences. This would solve everyone's problems when they mount a 9500i or 9500ix up high next to their RVM, or when they mount the 9500ci's display in the instrument cluster. I might just tinker around with biasing the IC light sensor output with a resistor to compensate. But first I have to figure out what IC light sensor they are using.

    Another thing. How do you all like the color of the blue LEDs in the control module? I absolutely love that shade of blue! I really wish that the 9500ci's alphanumeric display was the same color as those LEDs since my somewhat amber colored sunglasses wouldn't knock down the intensity of the deep blue display so much. But thats just me. Ideally I would love to have a red display or even perhaps an amber display.

    Anyway, here is a photo:

    Nice job MEM-TEK. My cluster is a little deeper so I could put it closer to the glass.
    I would be all over an amber or even red if they offered it in a heart beat! I'm not a fan of the blue. Toying with different tinting overlay ideas.
    My goal is to not see anything obvious from in or out of the car. I'll shoot some pics once I finally have it all in and where I like it, and if I can figure out how to get pics added to the posts.

    If I had an overhead console like that I would definitely do that and put a warning led in the gauge cluster. You are still the super stealth King!

    I think the display should go in the gauge panel, unless you have an overhead console.

    here's my install.
