Hardwire Help!

Hi all -
Attempting to hardwire my Valentine V1 radar into my '85 911 - stymied!

Using Valentine's direct wire power adapter, connected the power wire to a "switched" wire (same one feeding the head unit) and the other to the ground; nothing! Turned on the ignition - radio comes on, but not the V1. Tested the lines, they're fine. Tried connecting the power wire to the live wire - that works (not a permanent fix as the detector is always on and will drain the battery).

I've done hardwire applications in a number of previous cars before, albeit not one this old. What am I missing??? Appreciate any help!

BTW - if you previously saw this post in the "911 / 930 Turbo & Super Charging Forum", rookie mistake on my part...
