Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion
A suggestion to enhance the installation may be to use an ATC Fuse Tap, making certain to connect the power wire to the 'fused side of the fuse, to afford full circuit protection.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

Planet-9: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

Ok folks....i did it. I just completed my radar 'hardwire'. Its easy enough for any...and i mean any of you to do. a couple of tools and some time and patience and whaaalaaa. I will be either posting pictures in this thread or K-Man s has requested i get them to him so he can put them in the articles section. This really is a safe, clean, and easy way to get rid of the ugly phone cord dangling from your 12 volt plug . As an fyi...i actually hardwired my V1. Some of you know I prefer the Passport 8500 but, my six year old got a hold of my wifes detector and needless to say...its toast. She didnt want the V1 cause its 'too big and boxy' So...I gave her my new passport 8500 x-50 and hardwired that into her Murano. So....for V1 owners you will see exactly how the Valentine can be wired into the cayman ...but, it really will work for any detector with a hardwire kit. more to come..........

POST 2Original post

Looking forward to seeing more... now just don't get a ticket in that red rocket beauty.

POST 3Original post

ok folks...all done. The easy way to hardwire your detector is posted in the Articles section under performance mods. Hope this helps..../fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/beer2.gif

Actually, it's posted under electronics - not performance mods. Good job!!

POST 6Original post

Several people have asked me for some details on the fuse installation. I pretty much used RedRocket's technique, but I didn't really want to drill the fuse box. Here's the detail of the 'soldered in fuse.' My Cayman is VIN 0690, and position C1 is empty. The bottom blade is switched 12V, the top wire j(the protected side of the circuit) ust goes out the back of the fuse box. Use the bolt for ground per RedRocket. Course, if you have to change the fuse, you'll have to get out the trusty soldering iron... John
