SilverGTV8 said:On my honda I bought a cig lighter at the parts store and mounted it in the glove box. I took power from a switched 12v source so I don't have to unplug or turn off the detector everytime I shut the car off. I then ran the detector cable along the roof down the a piller into the glove box and WALA! nice clean install with no unsightly cables and such.

All you need is an inline fuse and some crimp on connectors and then go to the fuse box or the battery like you do when you wire up an amp.
Or a cheaper way, you could just splice into the wire going to the cigarette lighter. The detector doesnt draw much current, so it wont overload the circuit and blow the fuse.

9646gt said:awesome replies guys..would running the wire to the radio fuse be a goo place to wire? Are you jsut wiring into the back of the box where the fuse plugs in?
