Power for radar detector
Any suggestions about where to tap in for power for a radar detector (in my S550, of course)? I am going to locate my V1 just to the left of the review view mirror post (on the black screened cutout). I was thinking about somewhere in the drivers footwell or gloverbox area, but diudn't see a fuse panel or anything obvious. Thanks.

Tommy - Sorry I don't know the answer for the power tap-in.
I have a Caliber remote bluetooth detector/laser diffuser installed, but it is not as effective as my V1, so I'm using them both... and I'm also looking for a more permanent V1 solution.
I'm going to speak with my AV installer, and if I find any info, I'll be happy to pass it along.
I noticed that you are positioning your V1 on the latticed screend cutout near the rear view mirror. I have positioned mine on the lower center, because I was afraid he black screen would interfere. If I may ask, what has been your experience with V1 reception / sensititvity throught the black mesh?
