Power for radar detector
Proud new owner of a black NX200T F-Sport. I am transferring my radar detector over but could not find an accessory wire under the drivers side footwell to use for the radar detector power line. Most if not all the lines that have power are always on. Anyone install their own radar detectors can come up with the same dilemma I am experiencing?

I have Blackvue camera wired into one of the several "ignition" fuses under the dash. Works great. Only comes on when ignition is on. Grounded to the exposed metal piece behind the fuse box towards the firewall (above left foot pad).

I have a V1 with the Savvy option that plugs into the OBD port. The Savvy keeps the V1 from chirping at low speed thru parking lots and provides power to the detector as well as the concealed display.
In the past before I had the Savvy it was too hard to find switched power in some wire near the rear view mirror. This does make for a much neater install, but running the cable up from the OBD port still works pretty well. Most of the wire can be pressed under the plastic trim
