Well if you have already pulled it apart your already half way there, i did not use any of the bits from the smart cable, i made my own so really my advice on the thing would be to reverse engineer the item. (although there is not much engineering required)

I bought the smart wire and ran the power off of my steering column. It was easy as, probably easier than the ciggy lighter.
You undo the one screw under the column, solder (or if you are real slack use an inline clip on the positive wire running off your ignition barrel) and with the screw that holds the ignition barrel in, undo it and stick your negative wire onto that and bobs your uncle. It seriously takes like 2 minutes to do the whole job. That includes feeding the wire up the pillar and under your hood lining to come out at the rear view mirror (if thats where you want it). |

believe it came out slightly later than the rx65, been on the market roughly 6 months id say.
check out speedzones they do a thorough comparisons between radars every year. www.speedzones.com/longrange.html theyve also got a review on the new STi detector seems good words about it so far, and it seems invisible to all RDD's which might be crucial considering they might change the law in regards to detectors, so might be worth holding up on your purchase just yet http://www.speedzones.com/smlTests.html Last edited by saturation; 20-12-2005 at 09:15 AM. |

Do you guys enable K Band on your radar detectors ? I'm on Highway mode and K band goes off every few seconds I'm going nuts !
Just wondering if K band is necessary. I know KA is a must but not sure about K band. |

K Band will pick up the cop cars with side mounted radars, so I leave K active on mine and always on "Highway" mode (RX65). It doesnt go off that frequently and usually only around servos and fast food joints. Learnt to tune it out, and on regular routes harldy notice it. Saved me a few times so the minor annoyance is worth it for me.
