I've done the install as described in my post above and it seems to work very well.

I have the added Intercom Mic taped to the Blinder alarm with a piece of closed cell foam in between to lower...

Why would they need to stick out 4" or at all?

Obviously you don't want to cover/block either the reciever or transmitter but beyond that why would it matter how far they stick out?

I have an Escort 8500 and a Blinder M25 on my GL1800 motorcycle. I have been searching for a way to get the Audio Alert from the Blinder into my intercom as I may not be able to hear it at high...

I'm IMPRESSED!

You said: "One thing this information could be used for is triggering the laser alert on your detector from a jammer other than the Zr-3. It wouldn't be all that...

I'm trying to get spec on all the Blinder signals.

My current understanding is that the MUTE is just a path to ground. Not sure of this yet and not sure how many amps it could handle.

You are...

Thanks for all your help!

Someone said the duration of the power drop in an SPDT relay wouldn't be enough to trigger a reset of the Escort. Maybe I'll do a test to see using a big clunky...

I wasn't clear in my question on possibly needing a resistor. I wasn't going to be using a meeter. What I MEANT to ask is: If I take a wire/prob and ground one end to the ground plane on the...

How about this one?

Wire power to the Escort through a SPDT Relay with BOTH of the output termianls going to the Escort. Thus it gets power if the coil IS or IS NOT activated. Then use the MUTE...

Thanks for the ideas guys!

Thanks for your reply. It sounds like the Laser is just another input to the processor, thus not promising to be able to trick it.

I had another idea. If I use the Mute signal from the Blinder...

ESOTERICA,

THANKS so much for your VERY helpufl reply. Maybe with your help and/or the help of others there may be a way to do this!

I've inserted some follow up into your response - see...

Does anyone have or know of a source for any kind (full or partial) schematic of the 8500?

I'm trying to do a mod to allow tap in from a Blinder, etc.

THANKS for any help you can provide.

Georgia Boy and Ally - Thanks for your responses. The Cheetah is certainly a nice unit but is really overkill for what I want to do as I want everyting hard wired.

Can anyone tell me the characteristics of the signal that is sent from the ZR3 to an 8500 radar detector?

I'm hoping that it is something simple that I could use to interface a Blinder to my 8500....

Can you help me by telling me the nature of the...

"A"/Auto mode, from what I understand with the original 8500 has a brief delay on X band to filter out Pairs of door falses. Just under a second I believe. I always used my old non...

Can someone explain what the degredation of performance is from selecting Auto Vs Highway on my old 8500?

THANKS!

Can anyone tell me what I would gain by upgrading my old 8500 to an 8500 X50?

Will my old one also detect POP just not as quickly?

Is the sensitivity/range of the X50 significantly better than...

Can anyone tell me what the ZR3 inputs to the 8500 to warn of a ZR3 alert/activation?

I can't post pictures but basically I'm mouning the Escort inside the "dash" area of the motorcycle where it has to go through several layers of ABS.

sensitivity seems less than when it was on the...

I have my Passport 8500 mounted in the right front speaker compartment of my Honda Goldwing GL1800 which is a nice setup. HOWEVER, I suspect that I have lost some sensitivity. It now seems like I...
