woot...finally hardwired Escort......thanks for all the STF ideas only took 5 hrs
 

decided to keep the smart cord, going to velcro it inside the guage pod in the lower right corner, just need some velcro. Otherwise, it was an interesting project.

The reason it took 5 hrs, as I was 3/4 with buttoning everything up, the neighbors dog attacked my dog and required a rushed trip to the emergency vet after she started bleeding every where. $183.00 and 2 hrs later, I was back to fixing the Audi. But it's all good now, the wife is happy as now she doesn't have the cord in the way all the time and the ashtray is not always open.

glad the pup is ok....

well done! Did mine 10 days ago, so I know how you're loving it!

TPIWWP!

Here in Colorado I noticed when we have a warm sunny day the Radar Cops come out.With the on and off good weather it was apparent. I have a V1 hard wired.Remember to always have a rabbit for protection from instant on!!

Good job....
