I have done a search and didn't find anything really relating to it. I was just wondering if you guys had any ideas and if hard wiring the detector is that hard on the TC? Pics would be helpful if you have any.

 

What I did is mount the detector right under the rearview mirror, then I ran the wire straight down behind the radio trim. It then comes out down below the pocket underneath the radio. It is plugged into the cigarette lighter jack.

 

I want one in my front grill so that if I get pulled anyway they won't know I have it.

PS: there are illegal in VA( thats where I live

 

I'd love to see some pics of it. Having a hard time picturing it in my head. =o)]

 

Hardwiring should not be any harder than putting in an autodimming mirror. I was doing just that (the mirror) last night - took me about 1.5-2 hours because I went slow and had to make my own wiring harness (I did not buy the scion auto-dimming mirror). I have scion mirror wiring instructions in pdf if you want em - it basically shows how to take the headliner off, a-pillar, kickpanel, and where to wire the power, ground and ACC - very straightforward.

 

Yeah, if you could, send me those at

Could you e-mail me a copy too, I'm considering doing it. I don't want to ruin my windshield with those stick-on mounts and I would rather velcro it to the dash. I read that it's a good idea to remove the radar detector when you get pulled over, even if it's legal. That way cops might think you're not a repeat offender, etc... So yeah, e-mail me a copy please: alicsf@gmail.com
Thanks!
