    Default Hardwire kit help!

    I have a V940 and I LOVE IT .. Best detector "I" have owned .. I just bought a new 2012 Honda Civic .. Im thinking about hard wiring the detector in my car. But what i want to know is; what if I want to swap out with another Beltronics Detector such as RX65 or Escort 8500, will they use the same wiring kit listed below? I may upgrade in the future and give the V940 to my wife.

    Which model Escort is compatible with my iPhone?
    Are there new models out this year within the $250 price range, thats kinda my limit.
    I would also like something that fades out X and K alerts

    Yes, the hardwire kit you linked will work for all of those detectors.

    If $300 is your price range, the Bel RX65, the Escort X50, or the Vector 995 are fine choices, and you can buy them reasonably from RadarBusters.com

    I am getting a STI Magnum from them. Essentially similar to the Escort Redline, but with better upramp (signal strength matching the warning tone) I'm also trying out the Valentine One, and see which one I like better. Those are in the $400-$500 price range.
