Hi all, not really a stereo question, but it was a toss up between this forum and Performance Lighting... Figured the question was a better fit here.

I'm going to hardwire my Valentine 1 radar detector and am looking for a "hot with ignition in Run" wire. Looks like Yellow/Black for the radio will work. The fuse for the detector is 1A, so I don't think it pulls enough current to be a big deal in piggy-backing the radio power lead.

Either confirmation that this is a good lead to tap or an alternate suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

treywylie
 






An update for anyone using the search. Yellow/Black going into the radio harness provides 12v with Ignition in Run or Acc. Easy fix and the Valentine 1 is now hardwired and ready to do its thing.
