I do not have the autodim mirror.  Mine is the same as yours.  I ran the MirrorTap up into the area that houses the Homelink buttons and found power/ground in there to tap into.

 

Blendmount came directly from them.

Ahhhhhh... I don't have the Homelink in my truck.  Oh well, I have it hardwired and working anyways, I was just curious.

Escort 9500ix on BlendMount with MirrorTap.  Has served me well for many years in 3 vehicles so far!

That 9500 came out right after I got my redline. Do you like it enough you’d buy it again if you could redo it? I’ve thought about the newer redline or one that has gps in general as mine is pretty old. That one has the auto mark for falses around town doesn’t it?

Yes sir, I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.  Of course, I think I paid $500ish for it when it was new....they can be had for $250ish now.  

 

It does have the GPS-based false signal lockout.  If you pass the same GPS coordinates 3 times and the same frequency is detected, it locks out the alert.  The detector gets quieter as you own it.  Mine is several years old and has learned my common routes over time.  It is virtually silent now, but when it alerts, it's a cop!

The best defense against a speeding ticket is CRUISE CONTROL.  Usually, 5-10 over and they don't mess with you, also depends on how much traffic there is on the road too.  I haven't had a speeding ticket in over 30 years, was 18, 53 in 35 (tried claiming dyslexic, didn't work, even though I was, at the time).  I'm in NO rush, cruise is set at the posted speed limit, and no faster than 65.

Escort live + Waze + rabbit = success.

I rarely even really speed in the truck, I just like knowing where the Leo’s are. I’m seriously on the State Farm safe driver with onstar, I’m not messing up my discount lol.

Looks like you already picked up a detector but just wanted to throw in a couple of thoughts for any one else looking...

 

Escort is the best!  Not only for their products, but because they stand behind their products.  I have an Escort Max and had an issue with the mount not holding the detector.  I sent the detector back to Escort and even though it was no longer under warranty, they fixed it for free and only asked I pay for the shipping.  I have another Escort detector that I ordered a new suction cup mount - when I received it, the mount was damaged in shipping.  Sent me a replacement, no questions asked.  

 

If you or anyone else is considering another detector in the future, also look into one that has red light and speed camera locations built in.  You get an audible warning when approaching an intersection with red light camera or speed camera that may save you from a unfair ticket.

 

And look into the dash camera Escort just put out.  It piggy-backs onto the detector mount and uses the same RJ14 plug (one power cord for both) as the detector.  I have it also and it's awesome!

They are about useless these days. There are systems that work but cost $5,000 or more and have many remote mounted sensors and jammers built in. Like the k40 best on the market.

not in my area..... oregon......  i find that in oregon, washington and california, LEO drives around with their radar on, regardless if they are sitting and trying to trap.... so my RD always goes off, notifying me that they are close..... priceless

Haha someone else that’s speeding. See them fly by, slow down and let them get a bit ahead of you but still in eyesight, then pick your pace back up. You can use their brake lights to verify apps/detector or something they didn’t pickup.

      Conditions for Meeting a Cold Start   The ignition voltage is between 10 and 15 V. The barometric pressure (BARO) is more than 75 kPa. The engine coolant temperature (ECT) at start-up is less than 42°C (108°F). The intake air temperature (IAT) is between 2–32°C (36–90°F). The engine is OFF for greater than 6 hours or the following conditions must be met: The start-up IAT minus start-up ECT are within 12°C (22°F). The start-up ECT minus start-up IAT are within 50°C (90°F). Fuel level is between 25 and 75 %.   Circuit/System Verification Verify that all I/M System Status indicators report YES, and that no I/M Test DTCs are present.If any I/M Test DTCs are set Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle. If no I/M Test DTCs are set All OK. Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System Set Procedure   Warning: Refer to Road Test Warning. Note: Do NOT touch the accelerator pedal until told to do so. A change in TP Sensor angle or an increase in engine speed may invalidate this portion of the test.   Note: An I/M Test DTC will not be stored or erased from the ECU except at the end of trip processing, which occurs 5 s after ignition OFF.   Ensure that the vehicle meets the conditions for a cold start listed above. If the EVAP I/M System Status indicator displays NO, perform the EVAP Service bay test if applicable. Turn OFF all of the accessories; HVAC system, other electrical loads, including aftermarket/add-on equipment, etc., and open the hood.   Set the vehicle parking brake and ensure the vehicle is in park for automatic transmission or neutral for manual transmission.   Start and idle the engine for 2 min.   Close the hood, release the parking brake and Accelerate at part throttle to 72–80 km/h (45–50 mph) with this speed maintained until the engine reaches operating temperature, 8–10 min.   Continue operation under these conditions for an additional 6 min.   Accelerate at part throttle to 90 km/h (55 mph) with this speed maintained for 2 min.   Release the accelerator pedal for at least 10 s. This will allow the vehicle to enter the decel fuel cut off.   Safely stop the vehicle, with the engine in drive for automatic or neutral with the clutch pedal depressed and parking brake applied for manual. Allow the vehicle to idle for 2 min.   Shift the vehicle to park for automatic and neutral for manual. Turn OFF the ignition and exit the vehicle. Do NOT disturb the vehicle for 45 min.   Observe the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System Status with a scan tool. All of the I/M System Status indicators should display YES.   If the EVAP I/M System Status indicator displays NO, turn OFF the ignition, ensure that the vehicle meets the conditions for a cold start, and repeat steps 6-11 three more times, or until the EVAP I/M System Status indicator transitions to YES. If the indicator continues to display NO, refer to the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System DTC Table to identify the DTCs that did not run.   If any of the I/M System Status indicators display NO, refer to the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System DTC Table for the indicator which did not display YES. The I/M System DTC Table identifies the DTCs associated with each I/M System Status Indicator.   Observe the I/M Test DTC information with a scan tool. Verify there are no I/M Test DTCs present. If an I/M Test DTC is set, diagnose the DTC using the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle and refer to Inspection/Maintenance System Check.   Observe the engine DTC information with a scan tool. Verify no DTCs are present. If a DTC is set, diagnose using the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle. After repairs, perform the Inspection/Maintenance Complete System Set Procedure to verify no further DTCs are set.       Looks like one procedure to me.  Repeated as necessary.

      6.2L L87 Powertrain Engine Noise (Lifter Failure) Question

      By calgator73 · Posted

      My 2020 AT4 6.2 has had the valve spring issue addressed at ~200 miles, front cover/pump replaced at 18k, water pump at 34k and idler pully at 65k.  I would agree with ditching by 100k unless you elect to go with upgraded hardware...say built 10l80 and an lt4 or l8p swap.

      You might find the drive cycle you need somewhere on charm.li (website), otherwise I suggest a subscription to alldata.com to get them for your truck.
