Installing the blinder

I am going to install the blinder next weekend. Thinking about doing it myself or at least trying to.

What is the best way to get power from the batter to inside the cabin?

We have two batteries right? Can I use either one?

Is there a secret passage way to the cabin from under the hood?

any good installers in OC/LA area?

Are you talking about the rear side-window sunshades?

dont touch it

i would leave the little battery alone as that is a safety countermeasure for the SBC system, but if u have a 63 then i dont think u have sbc on ur car which would mean ur car doesnt use the dual battery setup

Sorry for the mabiguity. The blinder is basically a radar jammer. Then I'll have to hope the cops don't have a radar jammer jammer, cause then I'll have to buy a radar jammer jammer jammer and who knows how much that's gonna cost.

Anyway, I am glad you said that scrwmpwr, cause I couldn't find the front batter and I was getting kinda pissed, so rear bat it is then. Which sucks. I wonder what power source there is already upfront that I can just tap into.

anything that runs off of the ignition. Get a tester and see test some wires/fuses to see what keeps power while the car is running. If you're really lost I would suggest you get this thing professionally installed rather than guessing and risking problems later!!! But it should be pretty simple. The hardest part is running the wires cleanly and mounting the blinders at the correct angle. Good luck

the blinder is a laser jammer and not a radar jammer. Try to get the later newer version that eliminates the annoying long turn on chirp. Also, when installing the sensors, make sure you use the levels to aim the sensors.
