its not hard really, or at least it shouldnt be. what kind of end does it have, pictures would help if you could get some. but all I did was cut ciger plug off mine and one is a ground and one is a power, and I ran mine to the igntion wire and ground wire in the accessory drop by the passengers side feet behind the kick gaurd. but what I think you asking for is this

ya, but then I won't have regular use of the cigarrette lighter. I found the link, though:

thats a lot of wiring, and I still have all the use of my cigarette lighter. I meant cut the end off the radar wire. where most radars have a plug that goes into the radar then the other end goes into the cigarette lighter, the cord has two wires, a power and a ground. I cut off the plug that goes into the digarette lighter outlet, and those two wires in the cord for the radar, I wired to a ignition and a ground, so when the car is on the radar is on. I can take some pictures tomorrow if you want to show you what I did, its really easy, and it will not use your cigarette lighter outlet at all.

interesting..The only thing is my valentine 1 uses a phone line for the power cord, I don't think it will be so easy to ground it. Maybe I'm wrong though, I'll have to check it out
