well, i was just looking for a how-to or step-by-step instructions but the sticky has been removed, so if you can help, i'd appreciate it.

 

what are you looking to do? put the actual detector in the dash or just permenatley connect the plug to your cig lighter socket?

hope that helps!

 

i think i clicked submit too fast, casue i also meant to say that im pretty sure the sticky for the connection to the cig lighter is still there, i will check it out, and if you want the actual detector installed you better have some kind of antena or something

 

nah, i want the detector to stay up on the window b ut run the wires down through the airvents where the windshield is. i know about the wiring procedure, i just need to how to to get to that part of the dash.

 

i have no idea what your talking about...

 

instead of going all the way through your dash to the cig lighter, why not wire it into the cig lighter fuse? fuse box is much easier to get to.

 

in what way is the fuse box easier to get to than the cig lighter? the lighter is just a straight shot down, the box is all the way across the dash and then down. well, here, maybe this will hellp.... im going to position my detector in the dead center of my windshield and run the power wire down through the airvents by the windshield.

either way, i already foudn what i needed help with...but.... now do any of you know a constant power source inside the car that always has power when the car is off?

 

you can just run your own power lines, like I did

 

good call, i just did that. now i need to know, which of the two cig. lighter wires is pos and neg. thanks again guys.

 

red/orange wire going into cig lighter is positive

 

yup, figured that out the hard way, 4 times... but oh well.

FINAL VERDICT/ACCOMPLISHMENT:
-Hardwired Radar Detector
-Constant Power source to cigarette lighter.

now i just have to redo the LED power wire... ****...
