Hardwiring a radar detector in a 2014 E250 Bluetec

Anybody have a good idea on where to pick up an ignition-keyed power source for hardwiring a radar detector in a 2014 e250?

Does anybody know if there is a fuse panel under the cover on the left end of the dash? I'm talking about the portion that is only accessible when the driver's side door is open.

Game plan is simple - I want to hardwire the radar detector to an ignition keyed power source so I can get rid of the cigerette cord.

Thanks to all.

Rob

If you have a V1, this is quite neat too:

Looks like all we need to do is to hide the cable..
