Hard Wired My Passport
I just hard wired my passport radar detector. The only problem is it doesn't turn off with when i turn off my engine. I have to manually turn it off. I hard wired it VIA fuse box on the driver side. Does anyone have any suggestion on which fuse to use? They seem to be all live.

If the wiring in your car is like my CLS, you will have to find a fuse in the engine compartment to find one that is switched to the key. I tried to find on on the side dash panel and they are all on all the time. Had a professional install my and he reached way up and found the wiring harness where it come thru the fireway from the engine compartment main fuse bus. Pushed a piece of HD speaker wire thru and then tap on to that. Good luck with the modern wiring/electical circuits of today.
