I just bought a Scanmaster 2.0 of a board member who had it connected to a plug-in for the cigarette lighter. My question is since I run a radar dector most of the time, could I leave the wire to the ecm ALDL hooked up or would this fry the unit without the ground? Also, would it be better to "hard" wire it instead? Thanks.

The ALDL wire can stay on if the unit is on or off.
I like them hard wired. IGN terminal on the fuse box and a good ground, ie. real metal.
You can get a 3 or 4 pin in line connector at Radio Shack or electronics store and make the unit portable if you have more than one car.
Just use the same jack in the second car prewired the same way to the ALDL, power and ground connections.
You can hard wire the radar detector too.
