Help! I'm trying to hard-wire a Valentine 1 detector into a new 04 and can't seem to find the ign/hot and ground wires under the passenger footwell. I found the 3 wire pigtail easily / immediately on my old 97, but can't find it at all on the 04. Any thoughts/ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Tim

From what I understand, that's no longer on the 04's.
Do what I did.....get that little wire that hooks into the back of the rear view mirror. It's about 11.00 on ebay.

I have the electrically dimming (electro-chromic per GM) rear view mirror. Will it work with that? Come with instructions? Tim

Yes they will work on the chromatic mirrors, and I have the directions online so you can take a look before making a decision!

Yes, thats the one I got and it works great. Plus they ship quick and it is as advertised. Easy to install...takes about 2-3 minutes the first time. If you ever have to do it again, it will take about a minute.

Smart move - you can make one yourself, but for the price and quality of teamspeed's - thanks, but I'll leave it to an expert!
