Hardwired a radar detector today

I got bored so I spent about an hour creating, soldering, running the some wires from the detector,behind the dash, to an extra saab switch I had and put it in where they use to be stock in ng900 and converts into my four door 9-3. No more wires to see or plug into the cig lighter and the switch allows control as needed. That is all. :)

Very cool, I like the switch idea!

On my Comm Ed, I added a small power jack to the speaker grille on the dash. It is wired to the cigarette lighter behind the dash. The detector mounts right next to it with velcro and only has a short 3" cord I made to plug it in. Sorry no pics. :-/

Wondering if this could have been mounted behind the front bumper/spoiler and wire in a chirped from the unit into the cabin and stash it. That way the unit on dash is totally stealth.....

That's what one of my old ng900's had:

Radar system behind the grille:

Laser Jammer below the front plate:

On/Off switch with volume control and power LED above it:

Then it had an LED on each side of the SID, left one indicated front bogey right one indicated rear bogey. Different blink patterns and noises for each radar type.
