Hi everyone!

I'm new here, so I thought I would give you a brief intro.

I drive a 2007 Subaru WRX, but really like Volvo. When I bought my car, I was really close to pulling the trigger on an AWD S40, but ended up opting for the Subaru.

The C70 is my moms, and it's a 2006. For Christmas, I bought her a Garmin Nav system, and now I want to hard wire it so she doesn't have wires running all over the cabin (plus the 12v acc port is in a kind of odd place).

I already bought the hardwire kit for the Garmin, now I just have to get to ripping up the interior of the Volvo and tapping some wires. We currently have the Nav mounted on the lower left hand side of the windshield. Is there a Switched 12v power line running anywhere around there that would be easy for me to access and tap onto?

Thanks!! :)

I found a good Swedespeed thread with pics on providing hardwireing for a Radar detector. Im my older C70 there is a switched power plug under thae dash I can tap into.

So, here are some ideas.

Thank you very much, hopefully I can do something very similar to that for her!
