    Default Re: hard wire problem

    Thanks for all the responses, When I have some time I will give a couple a try. I know there is also another fuse box in the car, Will also look there for the answer. Worst case is that i just need to turn off the device each time I exit the car. Can Volvo ever make things easy? I have a XC90 as well and ordered another kit for that. Will see if it has the same issues.

    Anyhow it's a much cleaner install and have taken the advice of posters on this site and mounted it just to the left of the RV mirror in the tint, Very hard to see for outside the car and should stay cooler in the summer.

    Taking a ride from Ct to Maryland this weekend any thing special i need to be aware of? can I run city low or NOX the whole way

    Personally, I would install a rocker switch and turn on and off manually the radar detector, atleast that way in case there's a chance of a voltage spike when you turn the car on, it wont damage the detector..

    No, Low X is not a good idea for New Jersey. You could easily miss an X band I/O strike up ahead if you are doing any filtering of the X band.
