Hey guys I got a question hopefully somebody can help. Ive been lookin for some time now. Does anybody know how to hardwire a radar detector into an IS300? I figure it cant be that hard but from what i understand you need a buncha extra parts not just the wire. I dunno any help would be great.


thanks guys

are we talking a Valentine? they come with a clip (wire tap) that taps to a cig lighter power wire. its real easy. theres a DIY on .net

sadly no, not a valentine I wish. I have a K40 but not the kind that talks to you just one that beeps. Would it be the same installation?

i dont know that one. the V1 comes with a seperate piece that makes it easy. you may have to do some wireing on your own. for the power you could tap the cig lighter power. try posting up on .net

If your not interested in looking for a power source in the roof of the car u can run a wire. All u need to do is grab one of these http://www.amazon.com/12V-Extension-Cord/dp/B000K3EV20(also available at walmart for $5.99) cut the wire and wire it to the fuse box and that will allow u to plug your cable in without cutting the wires which came with the radar I do it all day long. What part of Florida u in for a fellow CL member I will do it for ya for free if your around Jupiter it's a 20 minute job.

Hi, I am trying to do it in my SC with my V1, but I don't know which wire to tap too. What is the site for the dot net? Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

I live in the Winter Springs/ Winter Park/ orlando area? I'm not that familiar with florida so I dunno how far that is from Jupiter. If its not that far and you could do it, that would be AWESOME and greatly appreciated. If not I'll wing it. it cant be THAT hard.

Im about 2 1/2 hours from ya so my guess is your winging it but honestly its a breeze... If you have the ability to test which wires are what on your radar power cable u can wire it directly to the rear view mirror so u dont have to run wire down the pillars.

Im just spitballin here but im guessing there is just one hot and a ground in the wire? then just find a 12V wire with the roof light and ground the ground wire? is it really as simple as that?

Hi guys... this is from the 2IS forum on how to hardwire the V1. If your set up is the same, perhaps it will work. Mine is hardwired as shown in the thread and it works great!
