Radar Detector placement
Anyone figure out an ideal place to put a radar detector? The car charger port could not be in a less optimal space for mounting devices like a GPS or radar. I figure I need to buy an extended cord or have to hardwire my radar to the auto dimming mirror.

Hardwire it, looks better that way anyways.

^there really isnt that many hardwire setups....
you buy a hardwire kit that fits your specific radar detector.
which is like 10 bucks off amazon/ebay.
you then push the wire under the headliner and down through the A pillar to end up near the fuse box.
use an add a fuse to connect it to ACC on.
VOILA.

not sure if the ILX has a fuse box near the kickpanel or floor of the car.
but its pretty simple.
fish through headliner to A-pillar which makes it drop down towards the kick panel/floor/fuse box.

The ILX has an auto-dimming mirror, at least mine does.. *shrug*

Hey Guys-
Hard wired my Escort Redline with the following items, no using the a-pillars and wiring to fuse box needed. The mirror tap simply plugs into the same inputs for the auto dimming mirror.
