Curious, I see remotes available with a button to open the rear hatch window. I would greatly like to add this option.

My '03 QX4 does not have this type remote, anyone know if its easily programable or easy to modify to then open with the remote?

Anyone hardwire a Valentine One radar? Curious what source was used for power from the mirror area.

Thanks

The hatch does not have an auto release mechinism. You use the remote to unlock the doors then you manually open it with the lever. On other vehicles that use that system there is a solonoid and specially designed release latch to do that.

As far as the radar I am unfamilier with it.

Thank you, very much.

I bought this radar detector http://www.valentineone.com originally in '94, I have upgraded it and I take it everywhere, even travel with it. THE BEST radar detector, in my opinion...

Have any suggestions on a power source by the dome light/rear view mirror that powers up/down off ignition switch? This way the detector turns off when key is turned off...

Many thanks

There is no ignition power source at the dome light or rear veiw mirror UNLESS you have a compass or auto dimming mirror. If so you can tap into the power source for that.

Hmm, thanks.I wonder if I could tap into the sunroof power supply.... Might be a bad idea I suppose....

no actually it wont hurt at all since the radar uses so little amperage. If you can locate the power feed to the sunroof that will work. It is a switched source.
