hardwiring radar detector on A7

This is going to be my first time hard-wiring a radar detector on an Audi. I have done it on my 06 Acura RL and I tapped the power into the fuse box. I have read from other posts on the forum where people hardwired their detectors to the fuse box and it looks identical to what I have done in the past. Has anyone done so on his/her A7? Which slot should I specifically tap the power to and does the plastic cover of the fuse box indicate where is what? Thanks.

UW, here's a different, quicker solution:

You could be the first to attempt in a Q7 and let us know if it's similar.

I used the wrong username (I am UW RL) and since I have sold my RL now, and picking up my A7, I have created a new username.

I will be installing it on the A7, not my Q7. And I will also go to the fusebox and I feel more comfortable that way. The overhead method involves splicing the wires for the Homelink which maybe or may not be easier.
