Quick 2001 GTS question.

[All Blue ACR]

and I did search;

got new radar detector. ordering mirror mount and was going to order invisicord after reading the threads. Car is not available to me to look at the moment; Before I order ( as I don't remember seeing it) is my rear view mirror powered or not? See threads from guys with 2001s doing hard wire to fuse box..........

 

[dave6666]

No it isn't you have to run the wire down the a pillar.

 

[All Blue ACR]

thanks Dave.

 

[dave6666]

My V1 is hardwired. I pulled the headliner down (PITA...) and ran it and my Hella TPMS wire under the liner, and then down the a pillar. It's pretty hard to completely hide the wires short of under the headliner, but I gave it 100% and that works for me.

 

[Matt M PA]

Yeah...pulling the headliner stinks. I know alot of guys use the mirror mount, and I thought about it in my daily cars. I have the ScanGauge mounted above the rear view and V1s mounted above the mirror, too. When I tried mounting below the mirror...I didn't like the blindspot.

 

[dave6666]

Yeah between the V1 and my extended view mirror I got from DBB my right angle view is pretty obstructed, especially being tall. Sooooo, I just go slow around corners.

 

[eucharistos]

rt/10's are powered

 

[dave6666]

Yes because they have no headliner to attach the map lights to. GTS's have roofs, windows, HEADLINER, and so on

 

[DrumrBoy]

.....and the rear facing roof-mounted map pockets that disgorge their contents upon acceleration. Not like acceleration'd ever happen in a Viper or anything like that......

 

[DarcShadow]

Yeah, who's brillant idea was that? Aside from the fact that after time it starts to sag and look but, it doesn't hold crap. I put a pair of sun glasses up there once, forgot about them till I hit it hard and they ended up in the little storage above the glove box.

 

[Bird325]

That's why the center-back storage is THERE! ... to catch what you shouldn't have put in the overhead pocket. I hand stitched some new elastic to the inside of the original piece and improved the sag quite a bit. I was actually just trying it out to see if it was feasible. Eventually, I'll go to an upolstery shop and have them do the same thing, only better.
