Hello,

Trying to plan things out and I'd like to know if I have any additional hardwire options since I don't have a radio or softtop.

Here are my plans, just need to know if I can get power from anywhere else without having to do too much tapping into factor harnesses (would like to get it power from fuse box or at the business end of the radio/roof harness if possible).

1) Hardwire radar detector (Escort 8500) to accessory power on cabin fusebox
2) Hardwire auxiliary power adapter to "always on" on cabin fusebox
3) cut open dash radio control panel and install tire pressure/temp gauge (http://www.tirerack.com/accessories/detail.jsp?ID=55). USB power connector. Not sure where to wire this.
4) hardwire another usb connector to power my phone (planning on getting a palm pre). Not sure where to wire this.

Thanks for the help.

 

Okay, I think I may have it figured out

Radar - accessory power on fuse box
Auxilary power - 12v always on from radio harness (white/blue) if I have a radio harness.
Tire Pressure monitoring system - always-on on fuse box

Would this work?
