Radar detector

[Jebell]

I want to hardwire a radar detector. Does anyone which open fuse slot I should use?
Thanks

I just used a fuse tap on the fuse for the 12v plug in the center console

There's a 20A fuse marked "spare" that's ignition controlled.

I do see it on the fuse box diagram, thanks.

It is really easy to get switched power and ground from the rain sensor in front of the mirror. There is a great description on this forum with step by step pictures. This supplies power to the rain sensor, overhead console lights, sunroof, etc., so the minor amount of current needed for dash cam and radar detector is nothing to worry about.
