I searched and couldn't find anything... So does any one have a step by step to hardwire a valentine radar, and the best place to hardwire it to?

you could just splice into any hotwire in the dash or cabin. do you have a different CD player? you could easily find and tap into the remote wire, which has current whenever it is on. anyway id vote for you to do a writeup!

Thanks for the input but I am really looking to see if any one has it hardwired into the unit with the two lights and the ambient temp sensor.

Mmmm, not sure I'd mess with the Climate Control System. I'd just run some extra wire to the fuse panel and go off an ignition circuit.

Mine is tapped into the clock circuit, because I don't have a clock. Run it up behind the gauges, up the a-pillar and just below the sun visor.

You can tap the Bose amp relay circuit behind the dash as well. Don't f*** with the lighting or climate control stuff.
