WTF?? You're asking for trouble if you're asking this question!! Definitely use a digital voltmeter or at the very least, a computer safe (SNAP-ON carries them) test light. BTW...what are you installing that needs a ign. source up above?

I'll look for a voltmeter. I was hoping someone had already hardwired. I want to hardwire a radar detector. I thought about hardwiring into the fuse box but that is a long way to run the wire and the fusebox is a PITA to get to, and when you get to it, to open all the way

When I installed my Escort on my E39 using BMWTIPS, green with white strips was power and brown was ground. But very well could be different.

I was looking to do the same for a V1 install
Can you post a pic showing how you got the damn thing off without breaking the tabs? Thanks!

So if you go to www.bmwtips.com and look at the section Electronics/Cell number 5 is the topic "Installing a Valentine One Radar Detector" with pictures on the install for a e39. Not sure about e53 or e70

This link may help explain how I got the cover off. There are a few green and white wires so this doesn't help. I need someone with a voltmeter to check a few of the wires. Let me know if you guys have any luck Thanks

No I have not attempted the tap yet. I don't have a volt meter I was hoping someone here had one. It looks like there are on eor two easy places to ground up there. We just need someone here that has a voltmeter. It sounds like from the e90 board that its the green wire with white stripe which is preset but again I am hoping someone can confirm.
By the way I tried to direct wire into the fuse box with the ATO mini add a circuit and did not have luck. All the front fuses are on at all times and not just with the ignition. I tried multiple fuses and the radar detector instantly powered up with the ingnition off. The rear fuse box may have a switchable 12v however this really doesn't help for a front install.
