So I decided I was tired of having the power wire from my radar detector dangle down from the windshield to the cigarette lighter.

So here is what I started with

Here is what the piece looks like after being modified. Here it is placed on the backside of the overhead console

I drilled 3 holes into the plastic to allow the mute button to be used and 2 for the power and alert LEDs

I can't believe no one has commented on this yet, but that is 1. creative as all get out, and 2. beautiful.

GREAT work.

Thanks. I just assumed the lack of comments was bc most of the members were content with their radar setups.

How the heck did you get it so perfect? Did you cut to fit around the label, or remove the label?

I just removed the label, figured out where the holes needed to be drilled then reattached the label to the overhead console
 
Just got my 9500ix and saw this post.  Great idea for a hardwire and to retain the factory smartcord use without spending another $40 on an adapter.
