Hi folks, I had just recently bought a V1 radar/laser detector and was interested in hard wiring to the X-type. I have it mounted pretty high up just below thevisor areain frontof the rear view mirror.I was wondering what procedures any of you have used to get a switchable 12Vpowersource. I was thinkingof something up near the lights and door opener buttons on the ceiling due towhere the detector is mounted.
TIA!
TIA!

Wire it to the cig lighter. It will only come on when the car is running. This way, you never have to turn it off or on.
That's what i did with mine anyway...

When done properly, the wrie will run up top, about center with the rear view mirror and into the overhead console.Snake it throughto the piller and run down the inner piller. From there you can tap into the fuse boxcig lighter circuit orcontinue to run under steering colum and up to cig lighter.
