Does anyone know why I shouldn't just strip a telephone line to serve as the 4 wires initially coming to the unit?

Sounds very reasonable. I'm using a 4-wire phone cord (RJ-11) to power my radar detector, fused at 1A, no problems (that's what their factory "hard-wire kit" is so I know its good). Are you going to mount a female RJ-11 jack on the board? That would be ideal, this way you can take a phone cable, snip off one end, wire up power, ground, injector, and VSS, and just plug it in when ready.
