Subject: Re: Valentine One Mounting - E36 Trick
Dave wrote a long description of how to hard wire a Valentine Radar into
an E36. (I've excluded it for fear of someone doing it... ;-).
Dave-
Why not just tap the wires to the interior light, 6 inches from the
unit?? It is a MUCH simpler, more elegant, and less time consuming
endeavor. No fishing wires or routing them through the dash.
All you need is two 3M wire taps and the two wires. A BMW dealer did it
for me, and it works great. The unit turns on and off with the
ignition. If you are interested, I can easily pry open the panel to the
sunroof motor, pop out the interior light, and see which two wires to
use.
It sure beats running a wire all the way to the trunk and takes about 5
to 10 minutes.
Let me know if you need to know what wires to tap. I'll check tonight.

Boy, that was harder to type than it was to perform!
Good Luck,
