Minor electrical help needed...

I just want to splice one to the other. Which wires connect to which?

It's a V1 radar detector cord (4 wires) connecting to a car power adapter (2 black wires)

Thanks in advance.

Alright well... I tried:

Connecting the red wire to the + black
the black wire to the - black
and leaving the green and yellow not attached.
Nothing.

Then I tried connecting up the green and yellow onto the + black along with the red.
Zip

I'm pretty crappy when it comes to electrical. I guess I will just go and have an alarm shop hardwire it into my fuse panel.

Well I just went ahead and hardwired my V1 in using the very easy and helpful tips found here: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=97545

It was actually pretty simple and it works well. And no problems with the funtionality of sunroof or anything else.
