Another Radar Detector Hardwire ?

[bullitt_2620]

So i'm trying to hardwire my new whistler radar detector. I bought the kit off their website, which seemed easy enough. I did an install on my old integra with the same connections, one to the fuse box, in a spare switched slot, and the other a ground. I have the wire ran but the problem is that there is no spot in the fuse box under the dash for the plug to go into, plus finding a ground among all the wires could be tough. Is there another fuse box under there that i am missing? I thought the fuses would be the average size ones, but the fuse slots, that are all taken up anyway, are really small. I think i might just tap into another wire that is hot when the car is on. What wire should i look for?
Here is a pic of the wire that i have

you paid for a cut off plug????

just cut the end of the original cord and ground one end. (find a stud and nut behind drivers kick panel) and use a test light to find a switched hot wire in the fuse box under the dash.

You don't have to ground it to a ground wire. Just look for bolts and touch the ground wire to them until you get it to power up. Some bolts don't work for grounds worth a crap, that's why I say to touch them to misc bolts first.

I bought it because if i want to take it out and put it in another car all i have to do is unplug it and move it into another car and i still have the cigarette adapter, it was only 10 bucks anyway. It was supposed to make this install much easier, because i live in an apt complex, but didnt end up doing that at all. But the problem is that i dont have a test light, so finding a switched wire becomes a little more difficult.

Take the cuttoff plug back, get a test light, and then buy a coke with the money left over
