Default hardwire radar detector a boost gauge power.

Does anyone know or have an URL to the tech article that shows where to run the wires for
for a radar detector so it turns on when the ignition is on. Where on the fuse panel???

Could I also use this same location for my boost gauge power wire?

Thanks.

i believe all you have to do is tap into a remote turn on...similar to wiring a stereo system

Default Just look in the tech articles :)

If you want to do it "right", wire it to the '75x' terminal that is under the kickpanel.

You can see some pics in my <a href="http://www.taner.net/s4/boost_gauge/">Boost Gauge Install Write-up</a>, if you want..

Default ahhhh!

Mantic you saved the day... i was looking for a good place to tap into direct power for a different project and #27 Rear Wiper Fuse Slot will do the trick!

Another perspective ... unfinished write-up, but the wiring part is pretty much done...<ul><li><a href="http://www.avn-tech.com/VBM/how-to_a4_vbm_installation_wiring.html">Boost Gauge Installation write-up</a></li></ul>
