Get an accessory fuse box with four or five contacts and a suitably rated 
relay, maybe 10 or 15 amp.   Connect the relay with the coil side wired to 
the ignition and the contact side direct to the battery.  This gives power 
only when the ignition is on and prevents the ignition from carrying the 
entire current.  Alternatively, just wire the acc. fuse box direct to 
battery.  From the fuse box take leads to your radar detector, another 
lead might go to the boot/trunk for a car refrigerator, sound system, 
two-way radio, you name it.    Tidies thing up no end and protects all the 
circuits.  You can add spike and electrical noise filters if you like.

The next step is to install suitable sockets in the car for these 
after-market items. These can be inconspicuous.  Cigar lighter sockets are 
fine but a bit clumsy.  Check your electronics store for neater sockets 
and plugs, but make sure they can't be connected the wrong way or easily 
shorted.  The soldered type is most secure.
