Default Hardwiring Radar Detector?

Hi all. Going to pick up my Dolphin Grey S4 tomorrow! Needless to say, I am very excited to join the S4 ranks. I have an Escort Passport 8500 radar detector and was wondering if there are any DIY's out there for hardwiring it. My current(soon to be previous) set-up taps into a roof mounted clock near the windshield. The cord comes out from the headliner next to the rearview mirror. Is there a similarly located power source in the S4? I would really prefer not to wire it from the fuse area in the dash. Thanks in advance for any information and I am proud to be member of the S4 community!

Default That's really great - for me I put the V1 on the dash

Your choice...
