    I am trying to hardware my escort 9500 using an ignition wire from the overhead console. Anyone know which wire to tap?

    I figured it out, there is a purple with blue stripe wire on the left harness. I soldered hot to purple ground to a hole in metal brace with a screw. Works fine.

    Cool, it's the weekend so a bit slower around here.

    You didn't happen to take pictures of the install did you?

    Glad I saw this. I've been wanting to hardwire mine for awhile but haven't got around to it.

    The easier way is to get a $5 power tab and just tap it into the fuse box. No messing the the factory wires then.
