tsk tsk ODUporschegurl radar detectors are illegal in Va. Anyways if it's in the early car you can probably tap the power antenna wire or as others have said the switched stero wire, or cigarette lighter.

the phone cord should lead to a 'junction box' that V1 supplies. it has two bare wires that come out of it: + and -. THOSE are the two wires that go to the fuse box, (well, the + does. the - goes to a ground point) then you plug the phone cable into the junction box at the appropriate position.

you can see the junction box in the corner of the pic earlier in this thread that shows the dome light.
