12V ACC hookup location?

Turned out pretty easy. Under the left foot rest, there are 5 rows of fuses, and the center panel, labeled "D" on the users guide. Fuses 6,7, and 10 are not used, and they seem to be switched ACC fuses. Took a 2A fuse, soldered a wire to the left side. I used a screwdriver to enlarge the plastic on the left side a bit, then plugged in the fuse. Works great.
I heard, but haven't tried it yet, but heard when the start-stop system restarts, the radar detector might restart from the voltage sag, but Valentine One sells a "blackout protector" (basically a capacitor) to prevent this.

Im going to install my valentine 1 today hopefully with an add a fuse. I wouldnt trust my soldering skills on a small item like that. Especially if its being plugged into the fuse box.

If you don't want to solder, you can get a crimp-on spade connector and attach a wire to it. Just search to find one that is very narrow, the same width as a fuse leg, Then just plug it in to the right side of a free fuse. Depending what cable you are using, there is usually fuses built-in. I added a dash-cam and a Valentine One, and between them, there is probably 5 or 6 fuses total in the connector, cable, etc.
