12 volt ignition wire in the back of your radio wiring. I hooked into that for my radar detector.

take a multi meter, find out what is hot with key on engine off, constant, ect. you should look for an orange , yellow or red.

Did you click on my link? Tap into the yellow wire going into the back of your radio.
