I suggest going to the ignition wires myself, but if you don't want to I can force you power only when the engine is turned over -- posted image.. It doesn't really matter where you grab the constant power from because the radar requires such a small amount of amperage it won't strain any wire for power.

You can tap into the ignition wires under the driver's dash area & tap into this wire: IGNITION-----GREEN/ black  or you can go to the back of the rasio & get the YELLOW /GREEN wire. They are both switched ignition wires.

You can test the fuses in the fuse panel and find one that is a switched ignition and then wrap your wire around the fuse and reinsert it into the fuse block.
