Hello guys. I have a 99 C2 and am looking to hook up a laser jammer. The interface box needs to hook up inside the car to a 12 volt power supply. This 12 volt power supply needs to go on and off with the ignition. The question is where is a 12 volt power supply that I can hook up this interface box to. Can I hook the interface box straight to the fuse box? Electricity and wires are not my thing, please be thorough with your explanation.

There should be a phone adapter connection under the factory radio. Which will give you switched power and non-switched. You want switched. Do a search radar detector hardwire install. There are a lot of write ups on it.

Thanks for the response. Would you be able to tell me the difference between switched and non switched power?

Switched means power is only there when the car is switched on (with the ignition key).

Unswitched means that power is always present - even when the car is off.

Be careful what you put on unswitched power as it could drain your battery.
