Apkano...Brilliant idea !!! I am looking for info on which wire is a 12V switched hot wire in the left windshield pillar. I want to hardwire my radar detector to a wire that is only hot when the ignition is on.
I read and posted this from another thread as well:

After I knew that, I followed an excellent FAQ on radar detector install from this thread:

Does anyone know if this same wire is the switched 12V line in a 04 Coupe ??
