topcat Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 I need help in doing a clean direct hookup of a radar detector in a 2004 CTS so that it powers up when the ignition is on, and off when the ignition is shut off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thu Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Do you have a sunroof? If you do, you might be able to grab ignition-controlled power from that mechanism. 2003 Seville STS 43k miles with the Bose Sound, Navigation System, HID Headlamps, and MagneRide 1993 DeVille. Looks great inside and out! 298k miles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill K Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 After fooling around trying to find the correct wires in the overhead/sunroof I ran a wire into the engine comparment fuse box for my Valentine. Accross the headliner down the piller post (covering pulls off) and thru the firewall(Ifollowed the hood release cable). Another option is after going down the piller post is to run the wire under the dash to the power point on the passenger sideof the console. If you have one. Not sure on a CTS but on mine the power point is shut off after appx. five min. so it would also work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
