Step
6This fuse for power supply should have a constant supply of power or voltage at least most of the times during the operation. Trace the screw on fuse box and locate them easily so that the ground wire that is black wire which has come with the kit is connected. If you find or notice the fuse of any of the wires may it be radio wire, ignition wire or cigarette lighter wire it should be pulled out first.

Step
7If once the fuse wire is removed, soon after replace them back to it spots with the red wire otherwise referred to as red wire.

The either white wire or gray wire shall be replaced in place of power supply cord and it can further be pushed away when it is not noticed. The radar detector wiring is active only when the key is put on. The problems with radar detector shall now be made easy by hardwiring.
