hot wire for radar detector

[marty]

got a direct wire kit with a black ground wire fitted with a lug to be installed under any grounded screw under the dash. the red wire is for +12 v and is fitted with an insulated 1/4 in male spade lug ; the kit also has a 3M connector that can be used to tap into an existing wire that has gauges of 14 through 18.

my question is where is a wire that can be best used for the 3M connector ? any help is greatly appreciated . thanks in advance . Marty

I posted some pictures in the link mentioned above that show a good place for ground (the black wire shown). It is a bit difficult to get to if you have larger hands like me. Just use a bolt and nut through the hole. It also shows my preferred way to install a hot and in what empty fuse slot to use (on the drivers side).

I'll second what nabber says - his pics made it a snap for me to install my V1. Took all of about 15 minutes...thanks nabber!
