Question Radar connection

Could anyone give me guidance as to how I might install (wire) a radar detector into the visor location? I'm looking for a switched 12v source. 2001 SLK320

Thanks

Paul

Thumbs up Radar Detector Installation

Paul, try here. If you are installing a hidden Passport, browse that same site - there are instructions for it, also.

Good Luck!

Thanks

That was just the site I needed!

Do you know if that is a switched (hot when the car is on/off) voltage source?

Hot?

Paul, since you are splicing into the Homelink circuit, I assume it is on/off corresponding with the ignition.

Good Luck!
