Default Advice needed on where to wire radar detector into S8

In my previous Benz I tapped into the map lights hot lead and grounded to the sunroof frame. Looking for advice as to where to tap in for power versus running line to fuse box.

Default I have a V1 and just ran it across the window and down to the pass side/footwell fuse box

you could probably tap into the rear view mirror but going to the fuse box took less than 10 mins.

Default Typical, clueless traffic cops.

V1 + Lidatek + common sense = no tickets. And I stress the common sense part. 8^)

I have a great indy in Buckhead. Email me at audios*at*gmail.com if you'd like his contact info.
If it's just the wire tap you need, I'm sure someone at the local GTG would be happy to do it for you - see the SE forum for details. The next one is this Sunday, but I won't be able to make it.

Thanks, I'd like the contact for any future service after warranty. Regarding the wire tap I will be tackling tommorow. I had a A4 in the past and remember tapping off the drivers side fuse box. Shoot me an email at pbkirby@bellsouth.net
