Radar device hardwire install - best 12V source?

I am looking to install my Inforad radar warning device on the dash just beneath the light switch. Where is the best/easiest place to find a 12V 'ignition on' wire I can tap into near there?

Paul, I suggest to tap the pdc/homelink fuse in the fusebox IMO. The below thread has every bit of information you are looking for. Feel free to ask any questions.. Josh

Thanks, guys, some good tips there. I had hoped to find a 12V source closer to where I will be concealing the alarm (i.e. near the driver's left knee), but maybe I will be forced to cable right across the dashboard to the fuse box?
