RE: [OT] Wiring up a radar detector

Peter,

Getting info on Mercs is very difficult.

I subscribe to www.alldatadiy.com which although American based works
for me on my Sister's CLK and my wife's SL...

Good for instructions on how to dismantle interiors...

Subject: [ukha_d] [OT] Wiring up a radar detector

Long shot this, but the Merc forums are all US-based and not always very
helpful - I've got a Roadpilot which I've fitted on the right-hand side
of
the dash.  It's got a power lead to the cigar lighter, but I've lopped
that
off in the hope of finding a hard-wired solution.  However, every wire I
try
is live, ignition on or not.  Wasn't like that in my TT.  I'm guessing
that
the newer Mercs run power around the car, and have local modules to
control
what's on and off.  Anyone got any experience of this?  I'd rather not
have
to take up the carpets or pull the dash apart to find some power.  It's
a
2003 CLK cab if that makes a difference.

Thanks
