Got a new passport radar detector, how to wire switched?

My kids bought me a Passport, and for now I have it plugged into the cig lighter 12 V, which is real inconvenient since it tends to lay on top of the Navi, AND the cig lighters and any other 12V PS are all unswitched meaning that even when the car is off, it's still drawing power.

I'm sure someone has connected it directly into a fuse that is switched, and I tried searching and reading the owners manual but can seem to locate one.

So I ask you, my friends, without taking the autowiper sensor box apart, if I want to just use the suction cups BUT connect it permanently so that it's switched so it doesnt draw power, who has sucessfully made a permanent, switched connection.

Many thanks as always,

Ed in NJ

PS. I think that I have to buy a cable to replace the coiled cord, any suggestions as to where to buy would ALSO be greatly appreciated.

Hope everyone had a safe and Happy Halloween..
