Looking for a 12v ACC in the headliner

I want to re-mount my radar detector up at the top of my windsheild but need to find a 12v ACC wire.

2007 300 (No Moonroof)

Yea i was just going to write the same post after buying myself a new radar detector today, i don't facy a loose wire down to my cig lighter, any help out there guys, if not in the headlineing were is the best to run the cable to, oh i have a sunnroof if that makes it better, i.e can i connect it to the roof wireing.

Do you have Uconnect? If so, you can get an Invisacord to plug into the back and then to the detector. Not sure where there wire is, otherwise.

Nope no U connect..

Invisicord will still work just fine. I really like the way mine turned out. I have neither sunroof or UConnect.

One point: Use the two far right connections instead of 1 & 3. 2 is a steady ground, 3 is switched. The detector turns off when you put the car in reverse if you use the connection third from the right (passenger) side.

I forgot: make sure you install an inline fuse. My Bel uses a 2 amp, so I added a 5x20 fuse holder and a 2 amp fuse.

Do you have the HOME LINK is the next question! (The buttons to open the Garage or set to do other home lighting.)
Cause thats powered by a 12AC Green Pink wire in the right A pillar. If you don't have the Home Link do like i did to the Maggie.Run a wire spice from the center stack lighter to across the drivers foot well, up the door frame thou the drivers A piller to the headliner. More wire but will be hiden.

I ended up using the rear view mirror 12v and ground but I tied it in up in the headliner..
