[W126 Coupe] RADAR DETECTORS

[Shayegan, Richard]

Just checking, but if the lamp is set to turn on when the door is open,
this would mean that the radar detector would turn on when the door was
opened and stay on when the car was started, and that when the car was
shut off it would turn off a few seconds after you close your door,
correct?
Thanks,
Richard

Just get the hard wire bit and run it off the power for your over head
light..easy install:)

THe V1 fits right b/w the rear view mirror and the head liner..
