Hard wiring cell phone charger
I have a 97 EK (Civic HB) and I want to hard wire my VX9800 Cell Phone charger to my car so I can leave my radar detector in my cigarette adapter. I've taken the cigarette adapter part of the charger off the phone and there is a red wire & black wire. The wire size looks likes its a 22 or something really small and I think the fuse on the circuit board is a 2amp.
So anyway, what steps need to be taken and is there anyone else that has accomplished this?? PLEASE HELP!!

Re: (B18C_EJ8)
nah because it uses telephone wire and then a special adapter for the 12v
i got an idea, i dont know if it will work so im lookin for some answers:
the top of the charger has a spring with a cap on it, this is the ground, and there are 2 clamps that come out the side of the charger which is the positive. If I soder a wire from the spring and the clamps then splice the wires behind the cigarette 12v adapter - it will work properly??

just tap into any 12v power source, such as the cigarette lighter line and put an inline fuse on the red wire, run the black to ground and you should be set. You can also hardwire the radar detector using the same concept, even with the phone cord type adapter plugs.

Ridin Dirty If you look on your under dash fuse box, [just above the fuses]
You will see a row of "free pins" male spade terminals that use this kind of connector... http://www.scosche.com/scosche...0-100 or this... http://www.scosche.com/scosche...0-100
You can use the constant power or the 2nd ign. power free pin, then you don't have to cut into anything, and there are more then a few ground points including stock ones on the kick panel/"A" pillar, use a ring terminal for ground... http://www.scosche.com/scosche...4-100 or even a split spade connector... http://www.scosche.com/scosche...8-100
