Does anybody know if there is a fuse that is only on when the car is on but that doesnt require a light or anything to be on in order for the circuit to be hot? I am wanting to hardwire my radar detector.

Thanks in advance

 

the cigarette lighter? why not disassemble the shift area and splice into the cig lighter?

 

use the small blue wire underneather the pannel on the driver side like where ur foot goes when u step out.
i ran the wire up through the head rest down the a pillar down the framing to there.

Radar detector goes on when u turn the key.

goes off when u open the door.

i love my V1

 

Could you maybe post a pic. I went out to look but it is dark and these things are caverns below the dash. Thanks for the info!

 

get one of thise head LED flashlights they are handy in other areas also and fun!!!!!

 

will post pic once i get back from class.

 

hopefully this helps let me know if you need any more pics.
i just tucked the wire behind the headliner, popped out the a-pillar fed the wire through alll the way down the door frame to there.

my hardwire kit came with that handy connector so that i dident even have to cut that wire.

 

I see you have the BEST Radar Detector make.

 

messed around with a few cobras...had the passport xrs 9500 as a present my gf got me. dumped her (longstory) she made me give it back. and got the v1 best decision ever made.

arrows man arrows.

 

Zsanz, thank you very much for your help with the pictures. I now have mine hoked up before I have to leave for Dallas tomorrow. Thanks again.

 

which is good/best radar detector out? and does it really work?

 

Hmmm....personal choice but I like the Valentine line. Do they actually work....??? Well it depends on what band or setting is being used by law enforcement in your area. With laser, PoP3, or scatterburst laser you are pretty much nailed by the time the detector goes off but at least you'll have heads up that you are getting pulled over most likely...lol

 

no problem hope the install went smoothly



and as far as the best radar i would say the V1 hands down.

as personally being hit with pop and lazer i had the chance to slow down around 5mph which isnt much but its enough.
and ARROWS. there great.

 

i second that on the best radar dector made

 

So, what exactly did I tap into here? I am looking for a place to use to power my led set up and I am thinking about tapping into the same wire again but with a switch to turn them on or off.

 

well u wont need a switch if ur content with them going on when u turn the key. and going off when u close the door.

im pritty sure its the wire that when u turn the car off. but u dont open the door yet you can still close the wndows. but when u open the door the circut goes dead

 

I will most likely leave them on when the car is on but would like to be able to turn them off if I'd like.

 

running a switch off the lead to the leds would do the trick then
