Default Wiring a Radar Detector

OK... I have wired litteraly dozens of radar detectors directly to the fuse panel in countless vehicles over the past 15 years (give or take).

I just spent close to an hour going through the fuse panel on the D/S of the dash in my 07 Tahoe and I can't find any circuits that are controlled by the ignition.

Of course there are numerous ones in the fuse box under the hood but I don't want to breach any of the gromets if I can help it.

So.... does anyone know of any ignition-activated circuits in the interior fuse panel??

And please... no comments about the radar detector.....

I found a wire in the area of the fuse block for my IPod. It is orange with a blue stripe. I am not sure what circuit it is, however I am not concerned because I am not pulling any current.

Hope you got a Valentine One if you are going to discreetly test your truck's speed capability.
