HAs anyone done a permanent install of a radar detector. I'd like to know where the nearest hot wire is under the dash and how to get th wire down behand the dash board.

I ran mine from the visor along under the head liner trim and then under the A pillar trim piece to the outside of the dash board. Then down underneath the edge of the rubber trim piece to the bottom of the dash board. Then underneath the dash to the fuse panel. :beer:

Do a search in the mods section - someone posted a pic of the harness with which wire to use.

Edit: found it - http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=34608&highlight=hardwire

Did mine this way. Hardest part was fishing it through the little hole at the bottom of the A pillar. I had to enlarge it slightly.

you can bring down your glove-box.....once it's all the way, press the back of it in towards itself and it'll come down even further.....then tap into one of the wires back there and run the cable up through the a/c vent....that's where i hardwired mine....looks clean.

that a-pillar hole is a BITCH!....so if you mount it up there, good luck.

good luck.

Thanks. Does the A-pillar trim come off or do you just squeeze the wire under it? I don't see any screws. Afraid to pull hard on it.

I squeezed it under. It was narrow in a couple areas and I used a small screwdriver to carefully pry it open enough to slip the wire underneath.

It pulls off, there is a couple of clips holding it on.

I left the a pillar on. I just pulled it up alittle with my hands and guided the wire in there all the way down.
