For me, the issue at hand is either the wire I used to hardwire my detector or the electrical system of my car... The radar works most of the time in my car but when I first turn my car on with the detector left on the detector says "low voltage powering down please unplug". When it does work however the voltage meter in the detector shows that it's only getting 10 - 11.1 which is the highest I ever saw it go. I'm hoping the wire that I used was just a sub-par wire that I got off of ebay and that the escort wire will fix the issue, but if not I'll have to take my car to the dealer to have them check it out for me. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this issue - or if anyone has any ideas as to how to troubleshoot thsi problem.

Have you thought about testing the wire you are tapping directly? That would give you a pretty accurate reading, although it is a little more difficult it should tell you what you want to know.
