The harness behind the 12v power outlet.

yeah i usualy use that but that will only stay on when the car is on. if u need full time power use the ignition

there's something inside the car interior? something more closer
i dont need it to run all the time since the blinder is doing his job only at driving :D

Cig lighter is still a good choice. Only need to take off one or two panels and they pop off. You also might want to consider putting in a bigger fuse. Another choice is to take off the steering column (3 screws) and tap into ignition or accessory wire in the ignition harness.

That would be fine for a radar/laser jammer.

No bigger fuse needed, most radar/laser detectors/jammrs use about 1A, it'll do more harm then good.

my fault i did not know what a blinder was. i actually wired a second 12v socket to the cig lighter and put the plug behind the dash and plugged a 3 way splitter into it. i have gps, radar and phone charger coming from it. leaves the stock socket open. Nice and clean.

^In your case going from a 10A fuse to a 15 or so would be ideal.

IMO, outlet splitters, never clean. Especially once you plug things into it.

i agree but all the wires are behind the dash zip tied together so nothing can be seen untill i take off the bezel and there is a spider web of wires bulging out

aight guys, ill try to connect into the ingition.
how can i reach there? my current other blinder wires are going under the steering wheel
where the fuses are, so a + cable to the ingition will do the work i guess its close to it.
into what cable(color) should i connect with my blinder + wire?
