My Blue 9500I install

[RadarKid]

LOL, this is kind of funny. I used the plastic cover for the USB end of my Ipod cable. Its so when you coil the cord the wire can be clipped.
I just stuffed the USB end under the headliner and used the clip end to hold the wire.

hmmm. guess I have to buy an ipod then for this install.


I'll find something appropriate

I like to make things work, and its pretty funny how the oddest things work just perfectly.

HI CJ, will that direct wire smart cord reach here?

Yes it should. its pretty long, i would say ~5ft? Plus the power leads for it are like 6+ ft. Should total about 11ft

Where is your fuse box? Mine was by my driver’s side foot.

My fusebox is in this pic, between the CAI and left front strut...

It should just be fine, if not you could always tie it into the CIG lighter in the center console. Come to think of it that’s a better idea, much easer.

In the end you’re going to need to get the smart cord and see exactly what will work best. You could always extend the power supply wires.

hmm and still retain the "on/off" ignition functionality?

My cars CIG is tied into the ignition so it gets powered on/off automatically. If yours doesn’t you could also tie it into the radio.

Yeah that's an idea. I love it, when I turn on the car now, my Kenwood - DDX712 beeps then the RD and I feel like I'm in a cockpit awaiting the canopy top to come down I cannot imagine when the LI is hooked up,
