Hardwiring 8500

Does anyone know how or has hardwired a radar detector, more specifically the 8500? Any help would be great, thanks.

I paid half the price of the Valentine 1.

No one knows how to hardwire this? I looked in the tech forum and no one has done it on a w202...

GO TO

SLK32.com for a procedure to hardwire a power source.My V1 is hardwired into the overhead light cluster-it's a pretty simple job.

I have the same detector, I am going to hardwire it through the upper light console. My buddy installs at the Good Guys, and I'll take pics, but it probably won't happen for a week or two.

Hey,
If you can post up that info after u get it done, that would be great! I ordered the hardwire cord from Escort yesterday, so probably be at my house in about a week anyhow. Looking forward to hardwiring it with your help.
