Ok... I got tired of the power cord for my radar detector hanging across my dash so that it could get power from one of my 12 vdc power ports. So, I installed a Cigarette lighter port in my overhead console so the power for the radar detector could come from near the detector instead of all the way down by the center console. I also installed a small switch so the power to the power port could be turned on and off.

Steps needed to complete this.[list]
<LI>Remove overhead console and let it lay on the dash.
<LI>Locate +12vdc (I used the sunroof switch +12vdc so it would turn on/off with the key.
<LI>Tap into the +12vdc and ground
<LI>Run in and out of new switch, install switch in console
<LI>Drill hole large enough to fit the Power port assembly.
<LI>Install power port into the overhead console. Solder positive wire to center stud of power port, and solder negative (ground) wire to the outside of the power port.
<LI>Test proper connection with a volt meter to ensure correct install.
<LI>Re-install overhead console - Your done.
