I wanted to hardwire my radar detector in 00' rs. I wanted to know if the hole where the hinges are for the dash compartment drop down into the compartment behind the dash. That way I would be able to run my wire down from the windshield through the hinge hole and over to my ignition where I would be able to tap into the wiring. I saw how peaty did his butt I still want to keep mine in the center of the dash so I can still use my 360 degree laser protection.
