Try maybe using the remote lead that most people use for suppling power to turn on an audio amp.

Default I hooked it to the rear wiper fuse.

To be sure:

- locate the fuse. It would have 12V when ignision is on and 0, when it is off

- pull the fuse out - one of the sides will lose power. This is protected side. You need to use it. Otherwise you may fry the system.

- put the fuse back.

Stoney in A6 forum has list of links. There is a lot of links on radar comparison and hard wiring V1 and other radars - look at it.

Another good advise - hard wire the fog lights so they always on (search archives, I published, how to do it). The fog lights will somewhat delay the laser measurement, so you will have more time to adjust speed.
