Cut off the end of the plug.





On the circuit board, strip the wires as needed. For the 12v+ and the negative, solder extension wires that will reach from where the display will be located to the fuse box area.



Solder a connector on the black negative wire for the ground.



Use one of the scews that held together the cigerette lighter plug to hold the circuit board to the modified plug.



After feeding the telephone cord through the hole, splice the ends of the wires.



Solder the wires (color matched) and electric tape them.





I used the #5 fuse which is for the telephone/tire monitor/maintainance. It is a 10A fuse which I figured would be sufficient. The #5 fuse is a switched fuse which will only activate the detector while the car is on.

Wrap the 12v+ (red) wire around one of the prongs and place back into the fuse box.



Ground the black wire to the bolt shown.



Insert the circuit board/half-plug in the cover and install back into the dash. (The circuit board/half-plug will need to be glued in which I didn't do yet)







The green LED will be constantly lit during operation. The wires for the red and green LEDs can be swapped if you prefer the red LED to be on at all times and the green to flash. A red LED can also probably be purchased at Radio Shack to replace the green LED.

If you want to do the install without the SmartCord conversion, you can simply splice into the sunroof 12v wire and ground the detector on the screw hole pointed out (screw holds light/sunroof assembly)
