DIY: Center Console Mounted Radar Detector Mute Button

Footloose301

Thanks for the DIY. I ended up chopping up an old cell phone charger and used the wire to run power from the passenger side cigarette lighter(spliced in the back), to the mute button. Couldn't seem to get my hands to grab the one at the console. I used a Dremel tool and Loctite Ultra Gel for my install.

One thing I really didn't like about this outcome was the headliner. Trying to run that coiled up wire behind the headliner resulted in a non factory finish there but nobody will notice except myself. I'm also not too fond of going around the A pillar near the air bags Made me nervous.

Everything else came out great. The wire was long enough to reach from the button, around the shifter, behind the glove comparment, and up the passenger side A pillar, right up to the mirror where it plugged into the Escort 9500ix.
