How to hardwire radar detector, or really anything else

[Trupiano]

I love my 8500! I've had it for 5 years without a problem. Bought my wife the same model, and she loves her's. The new ones are nice, but too spendy for me.

I just did this mod tonight but did it differently and cheaply. I cut my 12v adapter and used that wire. I wired it to the rear sliding window control inside the overhead console. There are only 3 wires there so its easy to find ground and hot on ignition. There is also a flat part on top of the mirror. I was able to Velcro the radar detector there and it is secure. The mirror still moves around and c an be adjusted freely.

How do you get the overhead console to pull out? I've pulled all around and have not found a catch or anything. Don't want to destroy it!
