the only one i know much about is the solo S2 by escort. its the same exact thing as the passport 8500, except for the cordless aspect.. works with AA batteries so that is the downside... other than that its a pretty badass detector..

Cordless units usually compromise a lot of performance. IMHO the Escort Solo S2 is about the only one out there worth buying. But, if that one is too much $$$ and you need a budget unit, maybe the Whistler 1788 would be OK, as long as you're not a chronic speeder or don't go too far over the limit.

U Can Feed Off Either The Radio Or The Spare Slot In The Fuse Panel Personally Id Use The Radio.. You Can Buy A Harness And Reverse Harness From Bestbuy And Do The Soidering Work Inside Your House Then Just Plug It All Together Thats Basically What I Did Except I Just Knocked It Out The Same Time I Did My Cd Player Install...
Should be something, Just grab a test light and probe the wires there in the harness for a keyed source. Sorry thats about all I can say, dont now of a specific wire color or size.
