I had the same question and a forum member was kind enough to post the following link . It is the best I have so far found.

As posted the Invisicord by CF member Teamspeed is a great product IF the detector you buy has a modular telephone jack type of power connector. If not just follow Bugman's photos and instruction to tap into the power supply on the back of your rearview mirror and do you own improvisation.

I'll add another vote for the Invisicord. I also use a Great lakes trophy mounting bracket and couldn't be happier.

I made my own using a phone cord I cut and soldered pins on. The invisicord site shows you which wires to slide the pins into. No problems with mine. Have fun.

I did the same thing. I had a black modem cord laying around that I used. Works great.

I did the exact same thing! I was looking at it one day thinking how nice it would be to have one then I just realized all it is it the same cord but stripped with two pins! So I went to the garage and made one and it couldn't of been easier.
