Default How would I hardwire my Pocket PC into car like Radar Detector?

Probably should just PM MacGuyver and Modifry, but does anyone know how to do this?

I have a Dell Axim, with a CF GPS unit and I don't want to use the cigarette lighter if I do not have to use it. It interferes with my shifting in the S2000. In my SUV, I couldn't care.

I expect it to be similar to hardwiring a detector.

An alternative would be a way to wire a replacement cigarette lighter to the front of the car, if this is not reasonable.

P.S. I have a detector hardwired into the car and a homelink module as well - not sure if that factors into the equation.

No different than wiring in the detector, as you said.

Thought the voltages would be an issue?

If you do decide to go the front power outlet route, I have some pictures of how I did it. Not too difficult and looks good.
