For my radar detectors, I just tap into the black and red leads behind the cigar lighter socket using the 3M wire taps that Valentine provides. The cigar lighter circuit is switched on with the ignition.

I've wired 4 of our cars this way. If a circuit can handle a cell phone and a cigar lighter, it can probably handle a radar detector pretty easily.

Or an XM radio.

I used to screw around with the fuse boxes but this is a whole lot easier.
