I finally took the time to hardwire the radar detector cable directly to the fuse box. It was a quick 5-minute job. I tapped into the 12 volt socket fuse. First I pulled the fuse out, put the striped positive wire into the 12-volt socket in fuse box, then pushed the fuse back in. There are two screws in the fuse box. For grounding, I unscrewed one of them slightly, and screwed it back in with the striped negative wire attached. Then I ran the power wire in the seams and up the windshield.

The blue tint seems to extend too down low on the windshield, and I think the blue tint would affect the radar detector's range. So I hang mine right next the Nav screen on the dash. Where do you hang your radar detector?
