9500ci installation, help needed!
I just purchased a 2015 C7. I pulled my 9500ci from my C6 and I am looking for someone that has installed a 9500ci in their C7. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

what specifically do you need help with? It pretty much works the same in a C7 as it did in a C6. Are you trying to figure out how to mount it somewhere in particular? Figure out where to tap for power instead of using cig outlet?

Purchase a 9 inch mirror 2 pin cable for escort radar detector.
Sit in passenger seat backwards with left foot out of car and right foot extended through console into hatch area.
Using a good light, remove lower part of plastic mirror case closest to windshield by squeezing and pulling towards windshield.
Next look for purple wire coming from connector that goes up towards roof. Push escort (red pin wire into connector where purple wire is seated by pushing in slowly and very hard until it goes in.
Next do the same with the black escort wire into black wire connection on same connector.
You can use a rat tail file on the plastic mirror piece that you removed to make room for the new escort wire.
15 minute install.
