Radar Detector Installation

Hey guys,

I'm just wondering how hard it is to install an Escort 8500 with the available "Direct Hard Wire Kit". Right now my old radar detector is hooked up in my Maxima with the cig light cord. I really don't want that ugly set up for my stang. I'm a complete noob when it comes to car wiring so I don't know how difficult it is to run the wire back towards the window and to where ever it needs to go to install it directly.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Kev
