I simply let the wire tuck into the dash where the radio cover plate piece
snaps on at the top. My radar detector for now is dead center in the
middle of the windshield. I wired it into the cig lighter about 6 inches
away from the lighter. I tucked all of the wire from the detector into a
gap i had next to my radio. I have a cheap dig camera mounted to my laptop
so I can try and get some pics for you if you need them. Oh well I gots to
go now. Let me know if you need them.
