First post, hope to find some ideas from all the VE owners out there?
I am planning on installing a radar detector in an 07 Calais, with my preference to mount it to (below) the rear view mirror - I dislike suction cups. I don't want loose cables hanging from the unit to the lighter power source, so first thought is to route cables through the lining down to a power source via the forward pillars. This option is fraught with danger as I will need to negotiate the air bag issue..
After looking at the mirror mount, there are lights etc in the roof area so 'assume' there is some kind of power source there? Has any one tapped into this source of power successfully? Any other ideas for mounting/powering the unit would be appreciated?
Great forum, already pointed me in the right direction on a number of issues,
Cheers
