Exclamation radar detector

does anyone know which wire on this harness is for the power outlet located inside the center console? which wire and on which connector? i am trying to wire my radar detector without tapping into the overhead wires in the light panel. its a mess removing all those plastic parts.

Why not just "piggy back"" a fuse in the fuse box? Much easier access and quick (IMO). Works fine for me....did it 10 months ago.

Or do what I did, and strip the positive wire 1/4" and then push the fuse in with the bare wire. Since the direct wire kit on the radar detector is fused on the positive end, this works without having to have any other items.

Oh and the fuses are marked and under the side dash panel on the drivers side of the car.

ditto that.
I used the fuse box, but it depends on what type of detector your using. and if you gonna run a remote or hidden indicator. I used any aux fuse plug in from the box and wired to the mirror with my other unit.
