Install of Valentine 1 radar

Its pretty easy, i just did it. The unit should have come with a part that has two "jacks" and two wire leads. If you have it than keep reading...
On the right side, open the fuse box panel. The 3rd fuse down (20A) is the one for the accessory outlet. Splice into it either from the back of the fuse block (i think its the neon green wire) with the positive lead on the Valentino power block part thing. Find any ground wire and splice into it with the black lead.
Install the power block behind the fuse block.
Since the Radar uses a phone line type wire than any phone cable can be used.
Start by mounting the unit wherever you chose. Then pluck in the phone type cable to the unit FIRST and begin running it along the crease between the window and the dash (run it left obviously) Then along the left side and finally down to where the fuse block is, tucking the wire anywhere it is not seen or disturbed. Under the rubber seal worked for me.
That should do it.
Good Luck!
