how to hardwire a radar detector?

My Cars an 04 CTT, no homelink! I just mounted my Valentine 1 on the screen, then ran the long cable up the rain sensor tube, along the inside of the screen, down the screen pillar, I used a credit card to stuff the cable under the headliner and under the side moulding of the screen pillar. When I got to the base of the pillar I just ran it along the top past the speaker grille again pushing it under the trim with the CC and looped it around and into the fuse box on the outside of the dashboard. Once you pull off the cover there you have access to the fusebox, seemed OK to me.
Now just find a spare fuse that's wired to the ignition.
If you'd like I'll post some pics

if you go to the drivers side fuse box i believe fuse 41 is ignition switched thats where my V1 is connected to..yes renntech.org has a how to.

I've installed several Passport SRX's on Cayennes, I wouldn't recommend this for the novice DIY'er but when done right, looks very professional and works great. This system uses the license plate frame mounted one in the rear, a radar sensor in front, and 2 laser diffusers in front, this is also more expensive than the V1 though.

Thanks for the backup bobbyspeed
Personally, I used 41 for my Motorola bluetooth kit and mounted it in the same spot as Kooser- love the pics on his web site!
I have the Moto controller above my light switch, the mic to the right of my gauges, and the CDR23 integrated for the speaker.
As you can see, my Valentine 1 is hardwired to my homelink.
Sorry, the car really needs to be cleaned, and I have not been up to the task latley.
