Default radar install?

i have a 93 ragtop and would like to hide my radar wire. As of now its just plugged in 12v plug. Anyone put the wire in the dash and if so exactly how did you do it etc... pics would be nice if you have.
Thanks

I did it in my C5. I took the wiring harness loose from the rear view mirror and used my DMM to find a ground and power wire. I connected the radar detector wiring to it and tucked it into the gap between the windshield and a-pillar strip.

You can't even tell it's there when I flip down my sun visor.

If you're asking where to get power from, there is a power lead in the console specifically for this kind of thing. Pretty sure it's mentioned in the owners manual.
