Do you have bluetooth?
There is no switched/IGN power in the map light. However, there is a bunch of wiring for the bluetooth mic that extends from the glovebox to the map light. You can tap IGN power into the mic wire and then tap the mic wire in the map light.
This is how I ran mine, and it works great. To get the map light out, just pull. I think down and towards the back, if I recall.

I have a 2010 MR with bluetooth, and I'm trying to hardwire my Valentine 1. There is a blue, a pink, and a red wire for the bluetooth mic. Which one do I tap for IGN power? Can i then tap the black dome light wire for a ground? Please help, my searches have not yielded the info I need. Thanks Guys!

It basically hijacks the bluetooth wiring and feeds IGN power from the glovebox into one of the mic wires.
There are plenty of spots for IGN, but you'll have to do a bit of digging. Good luck!

i just purchased an escort 9500ix and hardwire kit. Im going to be mounting it using this:

I will probably run the power wire to the fuse box since I need to mount the led/mute button module near the steering wheel anyways...

So if I purchased this http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...ht_2734wt_1132 it taps right into the fuse box? If so would this turn the detector on and off with the car?
Edit: You need a fuse tap kit.

I really didn't spend much time with it but it seems to sit too high up so the little tab on the bottom of the mirror blocks the arrows on the v1 , i am actually going to go play with it later and hopefully make it sit lower.

Not to insult your intelligence at all. But itsnt the tab supposed to be up. And then you can adjust it down to dim the headlights from behind? I could be wrong. I need to look at it again. Other than that how's the fitment on the mirror since our mirror post isn't round?
