RE: hard-wiring radar detector

[Marc Gallagher <mgallagher@Langan.com>]

I hard wired mine to the sun roof.  Just pulled power off the sunroof motor
with "telephone" pinch splices from Radio Shack (they are clear with green
or red buttons) since the wires are all so thin.  Very easy.  No cord.
Comes on when the car is on, off when the car is off.

Subject: hard-wiring radar detector


First, are detectors illegal in WA?

Next, I bought a hard-wiring kit from an AutoZone in Tucson a few years back

when I had my Cavalier. It had various DC plugs that were interchangeable 
and reversible to match polarity. Very cool, and only $10. I can't find 
anything like that in WA to save my life!!! Most shops haven't even heard of

them! The unit's maker doesn't seem to sell one either. I just dislike the 
coiled cord, and want to free up the plug for the phone. Also, this way, no 
more plug-in-and-turn-on. It'll be connected and start w/ the car. Anyone? 
Ideas?
