Radar Hardwire

So I'm wiring in the V1 to where the lights are above the dash.

Conveniently i can't find the damn multimeter so.... can anyone shed some light on the following wiring:

Plug going the the light box directly above the shifter.

Brown

Brown w/ Yellow Stripe

Red w/ Blue Stripe

Red w/ Yellow Stripe

Grey w/ Red Stripe

I'm Guessing Brown (ground) Red w/ Yellow (battery)

Can anyone confirm this?

Matt, yes straight brown is earth, can't remember the others specfically but none sound like true power. Best run to behind the glovebox & I would think you should be able find a purple/white which is acc.

You don't want it on straight battery or you will have to turn it off every time

if you dont have a multi meter crank out the bulb from the roof light and some wires, will soon tell you what has power and what doesnt.

DONT ^^^^ We are not talking an E30 here

already a put a multimeter across the 2 that could possibly be power .... but as hotwire has said there is no battery/acc feed.
