Escort 8500
Hey guys,
I wanted to use my radar detector on this car but just don't want to plug it into the cig lighter.
I have a hardwire kit, just needed some guidance on where to draw a Acc 12v current from.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Some car electronics have a voltage reducer/regulator built into the power plug. EX: Dash cams. I'd thoroughly investigate this with the manufacturer before taking any non oem shortcuts on hardwiring.

So would I have to order item 20305?

Sorry for thread jacking OP!
EDIT: Looks like item 20305 doesn't include the power cord. Item 00030 is the full kit with the power cord, but the cord is 8ft long... Guess I'll order the Direct Power Adapter (20305) and the 3 in straight power cord (20315)

Thanks for your responces, I bought a kit for the 8500 so I can hardwire it. In the domelight which wire would I tap.
is it just a simple black and red set of wires there?

I found an accessory power in the passenger side fuse box. Both fuses are unoccupied on my GS300. The one on the left is Accessory and the one on the right is constant battery.
