Right now i have my radar detector plugged into the left aux power spot in my jeep. i tucked the wire in between the radio, A/C and the trim. I want to hard wire it so it is not using up the aux spot. The other requirement is that i would like to have it turn off when the jeep turns off.

Same Idea for the GPS power but not as much of a concern about power off b/c i put it away when not in use. both go in the middle of the windshield/dash.

Any ideas?

i did something like this, except my permanent location is in the top left corner of the windshield. nice and out of the way. i did a very simple hardwire. about $6. pick up one of these things.



its just another 12v plug you can wire in. about 2 feet of wire with it. i pulled off that side panel on the left and put the extra plug there, and ran the wires behind the dash, but in front of the steering column. then, pop off the dash panel and splice it into the positive and negative sides of the LEFT cig lighter. this one is only hot when the key is in accessory or cranked up. now, you can simply plug your radar detector of gps power cord into the extra one you installed, with all the wires hidden behind the dash on the left side. then just run your power cable up behind the plastic of the a-pillar.

if you want pics of how i did it, just let me know and i'll take a few.
