radar hardwire Q's
 

Ok i know your suppose to wire it to the fuse box, but i dont know how or where exactly. It looks really simple, but where do i put the other ends, that look like they have a u at the end? Any info will help thankyou

do i get a fuse tap, and is that how i connect the pos? just pick the fuse that works with what i want? If so then i understand. someone please clarify. thanks

one goes to ground and the other to any fuse that goes on when the car is turned on. you can just take the fuse out put the wire in teh hole and put the fuse back. you should put it in the cold side of the fuse though

whats the cold side of the fuse?

RE: radar hardwire Q's
 

cold side would be the side that doesnt have the power source to it directly.....otherwise if there is a malfunction, the fuse wont blow....i usually just wire mine into the back of the radio

I like this idea much better i just bought a radar and wanted to get rid of the wire hanging down around my radio..So if i Cut?? the wire for the radar and connect the power and ground right to the radio power and ground it should work fine???

RE: radar hardwire Q's
 

it works out great....as long as you have the right wires connected......before, i had my radar detector, alarm, and neon lights all hooked up behind the radio and never had a problem

Thanks Spud Im going to try that today!! All I have to do is cut near the plug for the Cig lighter and splice up?

I got it..Tho i couldnt get the dash up enough to put it behind..but i put it down the vent in the top..Just ran it through the top with the dash pushed up alittle and ran it to the side of the vent and down to the radio..Works GREAT..!! Thanks for the info..And i didnt even think about it when i last posted but there was a screw to get the cig attachment off..:) I happy now!! Lol

glad it works for ya.....it could always be connected to the constant or ignition power wires.....i always had mine connected to the constant, but that was just because we always used to party in front of a friends house, so when my car was parked on the road, we could tell if a cop was coming.....since the cops in my town always drive around with the radar on:D

but connected to the ignition wire it wont run your battery down;)
