Anyone know how to install it? I would just use the cigarette lighter but I really want it to look neat and clean. So I need some info on installing a hard line power source.

Thanks for any help.

 

i will make a write up tommorow....i planed on it anyway

 

Thank you.

 

Direct wiring is very nice! I have an passport 8500 and the kit for mine costs maybe 30 bucks. I'd like to go direct but I can't keep mine up.. most of the time I'm in VA ( they're illegal here ) so I just use the cig lighter.. good luck man!

 

Check out the Invisicord...

This is sort of relevant...

I have my GPS mounted in the bottom left corner of the windshield...totally out of the way of view...yet perfectly accessible.

For power...I did not want to have a power cord draped down cluttering up the dash, so I ran my own. You can tap into either keyed power or full time power in the fusebox and add a female cig adapter behind the radio (which is what I did).

You can pick up a tap a line (or whatever the call the fuse tappers) at Autozone for $4 and get your ground just behind the glovebox.

End result is you will have zero exposed wires and either keyed or full time power (your choice). If you need a pic, let me know...but it is pretty easy to do.

 

I just plug mine into the 12V hole and I take it off when I park anywhere for sometime cause people will try to steal it just like my front lip!

 

my cop detector is mounted in the small openings in my head... never failed me....

 

Knock on wood...but I haven't had a speeding ticket in 20 years. Christmas morning too...

I have noticed since gas has shot up that people really are slowing down, at least on the highways. I hardly ever see any 80+ antics on the Interstate on my daily commute...used to be a common occurrence.

I have also noticed that if you dont speed...cops dont pull you over. That took a decade or so to figure out on my part...

 

Your just not going fast enough.
