Message	with the car? In this case I am talking about my V1 radar. I would like to have a clean install with no wires running to the cig lighter. I assume that it goes to the fusebox near the clutch but I just wanna know where you guys would wire it to make sure it powered on with the car... Thanks in advance. ___________________ "If everybody is thinking alike, somebody isn't thinking." "Pressure makes diamonds." ~~ George S. Patton DISCLAIMER: I post from my phone 90% of the time.
