Wiring in my radar detector?
Hi Folks,
Was wondering if anyone had hard-wired in a radar detector on a 2003 SL500 yet and whether any advice can be offered in terms of ease of removing panels, which panels to remove and where I can take the electrical supply from?
I basically have a cable for my radar detector that I want to 'hide' in the dash and connect up to a power source that goes on/off when I turn the ignition on and off.
Thanks for any help or pointers!
Regards,
Geoff

Sorted! :-)
Just for everyone's info, I managed to wire in a windscreen mounted radar detector, with the power taken from under the drivers side (I tapped into the wiring loom/connector for the computer test equipment) - it works like a dream... I took out the top of the air vent cover, and hid the cable under that, so you can't see the cable ...
This is a great cost effective solution for having a radar detector without those horrible curly cables dangling over your dash! :-)
Cheers...
