Just the T-TAP or the cord too?
Radioshack has T-taps. There not called that, but theyre like 2$ for 4.
Cord, you can get for 8$ on ebay (come with t-tap), or like 15$ on amazon.
You can't f*ck it up, its easy takes 5 mins.
Just make sure you do it in the daylight. I had a spotlight out there took me like an hour because I couldn't see.

what brand name and model of radar u got?
It is very easy to do, if you got the hardwire cable.
I hardwire my Rx 65 while waiting my girlfriend getting out of class.
All i have was a needle-nose plier and electrical tape.

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=radar+direct+wire

First result: a youtube video on how to direct wire a radar detector.
Third result: a company that sells tons of direct wire kits for a wide variety of brands for $5-8.

..i swear kids these days are so lazy..

ya, some kits use a fuse that you plug into an open slot in your fuse box, and it'll leave you with a wire to connect to whatever. you can connect it to your dome light, you just need to make sure that you're tapping a constant 12v wire, and not one that only recieves power when the door opens or when the dome light is on.
