Anyone ever wire they're radar detector into dome lights??
So, I've had several girls in my car, and the stupid wire for the radar detector ALWAYS gets in the way !!! I don't really think that it was the brightest idea for Nissan to put the AC plug behind the seats. However, I do realize that I could get the cigarette lighter adapter for the center console, but then where would I put all my spare change for gas money??? My friend, who is an electrician, suggested wiring the radar detector into the dome lights. Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone has attempted this in their Z yet. Comments? Concerns? Ideas?

The dome light is also controlled by the BCM, I wouldn't wire anything to it....
There have been several people who have hooked things up to the dome lights and the dome lights quit working. There are much better places to pull power from.
