Has anyone permanently installed a Valentine 1 (or other
detector) in an A4 ? I'd be interested in your power source and
power line routing. I'd like to install mine so that I don't
have to rely on the lighter socket and an external cable.

I hardwired the Valentine into both the 200 and the A4.
The 200 was easy - it has a switcheable +12v in the suroof
circuit.

The A4 has +5v in the sunroof (evidently it is controlled by the
TTL logic) so I had to run the switcheable +12v line from under
the dashboard, through the LH A-pillar, above the windshield
under the headliner to the sunroof/illumination access panel.

Attached please find a drawing in MSWord 97 format.
