Re: direct wire for radar detector?
I had the local mod shop do it since I'm not handy. They did it for ~$50 and did on OK job. Direct wired into the fuse box and ran it up the A pillar and across the headliner. There were a few small scratches. Bugged the crap out of me at first but I don't even think about it now. I don't leave my passport hooked up around town and the cord wraps around the rear view mirror so I can't see it at all. There are some pictures if you look on my picture poster (just click my user account number).
P.S. - LOVE the car. Handles better than my old A6 and gets 29 MPG on the highway.

I just hardwired my V1 yesterday
I'm not sure where the fuse box is on the B7 but in the TT it is to the left of the instrument cluster between the door and dash. I just ran the wire along the roof and under the A pillar, tapped into the fuse box and it works perfect with no visible wires.
