1. Purchased an Add a Circuit from Pep Boys. $9.
2. On the add a circuit, added a 5 amp fuse and a 10 amp fuse that came with it.
3. On the red wire coming off the add a circuit (before the blue part), shaved a little off the thick red wire and clamped the blue piece that came with my hardwire to tap into the wire without having to splice it.
4. Then plugged the metal piece on the Escort Hardwire into that blue tap
5. Removed the fuse (15 amps) for Cigarette lighter on my car.
6. Plugged the add a circuit into that space.
7. Grounded the black wire to a screw i found under the dash.
8. Pressed start on the car and radar as well as teh cigarette lighter both turn on and off with the ignition!
