Ok, understand totally. Yes, each year I like Sat radio less and less since we have sooo many other options now for good high quality "free" or at least cheaper music. HD radio is just one option but of course you have to have a local station you really like. Like you, I have now moved onto...
Not sure you realize that FM sends signals in HD which far far exceeds Sirius Satellite compressed signals. Thus for some, they may like switching to all sources. Ho9wever, Sirius is at the bottom when it comes to fidelity. About the only thing worse than listening to Sirius is AM radio...
Just throwing this out there as an alternative to the OPs setup. His is very foolproof concerning power since he is adding a separate battery bank. That's a good idea if your leaving your Bronco alone for several days in a row. In my case, I am only worried about leaving it somewhere for a...
I just received my Blackvue 900 today and plan to mount my rear camera in this same area. I am simply waiting to get my Bronco back from the PPF and Ceramic Paint Protection shop before doing the install, which should be this weekend. Like the OP, I am also adding cloud capability but am using...
Agreed, I just bought a spool of automotive wire and used that to connect the light leads to the Aux 5 and 6 leads in the engine compartment (just under the driver's side A-Pillar). The Ford light install video above is a great tutorial to follow on where to run the wires from the lights to...
Right, as I discussed above, that third wire is needed for the backlight feature of the Rigid 360 Series, which the Ford light doesnt have. I ordered one that has amber backlight, which you can switch on separately from main light (mine is wired to Aux 6 using that third wire). It's "almost"...
Sorry took so long to respond, been a long work day. I can maybe help answer some of this. I bought my Rigid 360s directly from Rigid. One reason I didn't select the Ford version of the light is because I wanted the backlight feature (amber) which I have wired into a separate Aux switch...
I just purchased this set from Amazon, which includes 3 sizes just in case. But after looking at the mirror today (I have the lux auto dimming version), I am pretty sure it takes the smaller of the three.
I actually bought this same kit for my other two cars a few months ago and used the...
Hi , this has been very useful. I know the white wire is positive with ignition on but my tester gave out before I could check on the ground and the wire tap I have left over from another project is to big. Can you confirm in your picture that the ground wire goes into the slot with the...
Right, that is a nice setup and I would do that if I didn't already use Android for a phone plus I have the bigger sized phone to boot. Maybe down the road I can get one of those with a nice permante mount!
Of course, I don't have to tell you about all the crazy info JBV1 gives us. When I...
I think that is a good idea, based on my experience with the single bracket with the 360s. See my post I just made on this issue:
https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/rigid-a-pillar-light-bracket-issues-with-360-backlight-kit.27757/
I decided to buy a pair pf A Pillar Lights from Rigid versus Ford's setup (which is also Rigid) in order to have that dual main light and backlight function (Amber). I installed this yesterday with no real wiring issues. I used Aux 6 for the backlight and Aux 5 for the main light. I think...
Thanks, I am going to go ahead and run the ign on and power on all the time wires from the fuse box to the mirror area today in preparation for the dash cam coming in tomorrow. I also need a ign on power for a radar detector but may use mirror tap for that. Thanks for these tips!
Yesterday...
Nice work OP. I didn't see your post earlier when I made mine about the mirror tap question. I have the same Backvue 900 coming tomorrow but splurged on the wifi hotspot that comes with it. I will only have two cameras (no 700 series) though so still trying to decide where to mount the rear...
Yes that is true. But now they have apps for free that do the same thing on your phone. Like the poster saide above me, I just got JBV1 setup recently with my V1 G2 Valentine detector. Pretty cool as long as you don't mind using your phone for the info. However JBV1, only works with android...
The best defense is to use both. They each have there weakness but having both offsets the other. Waze's biggest problem is that it is based 100% on user input. If no one marks the police then how would you know they are there. What if you were the first he setup on? What if he is actually...
Thanks for your info and Hkak45. I may look into the mirror connector for ignition on power but for constant on it might be best to just run a wire down to this fuse box. Yes, any additional info you have on recommendations to tap into, please let me know. I am going to go out now and take a...
Ok, and I misunderstood your first post. The light bar wire is "downcurrent" from one of the Aux Switches so I would need to tie up one of them. I kind of hate to do that even though I will probably never need all 6... but you never know. Most people power dash cams or radar detectors from...
ok thanks for info. You wouldn't happen to have any pics of it exposed would you? Curious which color etc. However, I think I am more nervous with removing the plastic dash bits then figuring out the wires as I am fairly confident in wiring. But when it comes to plastic dash pieces...
