Any workaround or ideas there.............Also I was considering the escort 8500, my understanding is it is way advanced then the valentine unit!i dont know anything about the 8500, just make sure the one you get is a new model and fcc certified.quote from http://www.valentineone.com:quote: Many radar detectors interfere with satellite communications in the downlink frequency range of 11.7-12.2 GHz, according to the Federal Communications Commission. But not Valentine One. By a wide margin, it has for years and years been free of any possible interference.By October 27, 2002, all detectors offered for sale in the U.S. must comply with new RF radiation limits and be certified, either by the FCC or other designated agencies. Detectors sold after that time must have a certification sticker.Valentine One has already passed compliance testing. FCC approval is pending.If you dont worry about the fcc regulations you can probably find a detector pretty cheap these days since manufacturers/retailers want to get rid of the old models.One thing that was nice with the valentine one is that it comes with all the cables needed to hook it in-line.If you want to hide it you can also get a remote display: that said, im sure other manufacturers have the same stuff..

The map lights are in the rearview mirror.Thanks,I was thinking about the overhead console (maplight, sunroof control)Is there anything in the service manual that indicates where you might be able to find ignition switched power?
