Escort 9500ci install pics

Just finished up the install of my Escort 9500ci, on my 2008 M6. The pics show the display unit installed in the iDrive display unit. It was really easy to do, just two screws, and the display unit pops right out. I was quoted $750 to install this, and did the entire thing myself in about 6 hours, over two weekend days.

Would love to find out if anyone knows how to connect the radio mute lead from the 9500ci to the radio. While the ci's speaker is loud, it's just not loud enough, especially with the top down.

Eddie, I removed the passenger side grill, and mounted the radar detector to the aluminum panel cover between the bumper and the radiator frame. Drilled two holes for the mounting bracket, and in it went. I ran the wires for the front laser, and radar detector through the air tube on the passenger side, and notched out a 1/2 inch hole so that the air filter assembly fit normally. Taking the grill out is easy if you have the right tools. You'll need a flat head screwdriver that has a curl to it, and looks like something you'd hook a fish with. I made my own, using an old screwdriver, a blow torch, and some vice grips. If you want some pics, send my your email via PM. Good luck! BTW, it saved me just this morning.
