CamelTowing Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 No, you can use the windshield mount and plug it into your cig adaptor Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CamelTowing Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 No. No hardwire kit(that fat cable) when you windshield mount it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ecgz88 Posted January 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 according this link cradle is needed for windshield mount. I'm so confusing now. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/ephox ... QSG_US.pdf No. No cradle when you windshield mount it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CamelTowing Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Sorry, mis-spoke. I thought that fat hardwire part was attached to the cradle. Its not. So you can use the cradle and winshield mount with the cig adaptor, you just won't get MSN direct Quote Link to post Share on other sites
txnsx Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 I didn't want to drill any holes in my 3 months old car so I went with the cig adaptor and special mount designed for my car. I couldn't hide all of the cables well but I am willing to accept it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
