You should be okay with ACC. ACC operates on a 77 GHz band which is far above what any radar detector detects. Police radar runs on X-band (10.50-10.55 GHz), K-band (24.05-24.25 GHz), or Ka-band (33.4-36.0 GHz).
Also, for a windshield mounted radar detector I'd recommend the Escort Max 2. I...
I posted this in another thread:
In short, ACC shouldn't be a problem since the frequency it transmits is well above anything that a radar detector scans for. (77 GHz) On the other hand, BLIS uses K-band radar. The same frequency used by police and door openers.
Link fixed
If you still can't access the link, just Google "how to hardwire a radar detector". Should be the 4th result listed as a link to rdforum.org
I had a Valentine 1 hardwired to my fuse box using their hard-wire kit. I have an Escort Max2 now that works with the same hard-wire kit since both use the same RJ11 connections. Escort sells there own hard-wire kits too. Buy a "Add a Circuit" from any auto parts store and use the radio fuse...

That's a very good detector! Especially for its price. :thumbsup: Make sure you have the TSR (traffic-sensor-rejection) setting turned on. Your X50 should have this setting option. This is the setting the filters out a good majority of the driver-aid K-band falses.
BLIS uses K-band radar (24.05 GHz to 24.25 GHz) just like 90% of the other blind-spot monitoring systems from other manufacturers. Although, BLIS transmits a fairly low powered beam of radar compared to GM systems. GM systems make my older model Valentine 1 go nuts!!! I've had a Escort Max2 for...
Thanks FlowForm!!! :thumbsup: Tarmac looks stunning on Ruby!!! Looks like it's between Tarmac, Liquid Black, Anthracite, and Fog (which I don't think has been rendered). Although, I think Tarmac has taken the lead thus far. Maybe it's the matte color versus glossy that give it some contrast...
Would absolutely check the option box for a "glass roof". I have it on my current V6 Kona. Expensive option but worth every penny. Really gives an open feeling to the vehicle and is great for nice sunny day drives or weekend road trips. Also comes in handy when stopped close to red-lights on...
Anybody have any experience buying aftermarkets rims and tires when ordering? What do the dealers do with the stock rims and tires? Do they let you have them to sell or do they arrange some type of credit for them like a trade?
Having a hard time deciding on what would look better on a Ruby Red GT. Fog or Anthracite FF01 20s? :shrug:
Also, would a square 305/30/20 set-up work?
Saw the Guard EB on 20's at the Austin Auto Show last weekend. Absolutely stunning in person. Pictures do it no justice. The lines of the car are just down right sexy.
Another queston: Would Ford's ACC cause K band falsing on my radar detector like some of the other manufacturer's ACC systems? Same question applies to the BLIS system as well.
Now the questions are....Will the SVT model be available at launch or at a later date? What will be its official designation and power-plant? GT350 or GT500 or something else? 5.2 Voodoo or blown Coyote or Trinity despite all the naysayers?
