Wiring a radar detector

All

I just picked up a 2006 MegaCab and I need to wire my radar detector. My Dakota had the fuse box in the cab and I had one of those mini-blade adapters for it. The fuse box is in the engine bay on this beast so I don't think my line is long enough.

Where can I get a switched 12v power supply in the cab that I can tap into easily?

Thanks

I wired my V1 into the day/night rearview mirror power wire. Darned clean installation, but not exactly an easy 'tap in', I disassembled the mirror harness connector, soldered the V1 telephone wires to the appropriate pins, then reassembled. Zip tie (black, of course) the telephone wire to the mirror harness.

Overhead console (trip computer) uses the same switched power feed harness as the rearview mirror.
