Hey BartMan,

I did the same install on my 01 and it took me two months of planning before I had the balls to cut in. If you need help, let me know.

The radar antenna is in the passenger grill attached with the provided "L" bracket to the black rubber liner (back) of the intake. The front laser antennas are 3M taped behind the each grill. I Ran the wiring down the passenger headlight barrel (pull the headlight and feed a 6 foot piece of weed eater line down from under the windshield cowling to use as a safe fish tape.) Find a rubber plug in the firewall and puncture and pass wires through. I bundled everything in the console behind the bow tie and mounted the display in the bow tie like your picture.

For the rear laser antenna, run the wire into the bumperette, there you will find a hole that lead into the trunk (I think there is another rubber gromit to pierce) and run back along the drivers side, behind the trim in the top well. From there I went behind the drives seat and down the center to the bow tie.

Wire it up and you are good to go. There is a 12v wire for the phone in the harness under the bow tie, I just can not remember if it is switched or hot.

You will want to order the external speaker from Escort, otherwise you will not hear the warnings with the top down. I placed mine right under the drivers seat upper seatbelt mount.

You will love the warning you get with this and the security of being able to leave your top down without fear of someone taking you radar detector.

Good Luck
