Radar Detector Hardwire

Hey,

Just got my 06 taco w/access cab and I was going to hardwire my radar detector. Anyone have any experience with this? I was looking for information on which sockets to use for powering the rd.

Thanks,
T

 

I hardwired mine to the Cig lighter. Like behind it. soldered the wires the the connectors. Might be easier for me though as I did it on my 4runner. Not sure how the tacos come apart around the cig lighters.

 

Yeah I have no experience soldering so that may not be the best option for me.

 

wrap the wire around the connector. red on red black on black. wrap it in electrical tape. you should be fine

 

I just bought a knockoff "hardwire kit" that had the cig plugin. I was gonna fully hardwire but I couldnt figure out how the Tack came apart so I just have the flatline wired and the plugged in like normal

 

What is the "connector" - I was going to just hardwire to the fusebox which is under and to the left of the steering wheel?

 

That will work also. but the connector I was talking about was the one that connects the cig lighter to wires.

 

ohh ok gotcha
