Default Radar detector [hot wire]

Can someone help me with the wiring for my escort?

I know there is an extra wire under the panel where the computer is but, where should I go from there?

TIA



This is what I have.

The pictures don't go with the text, but the text explains the routing path pretty well

Are you aware that you can also access power from your rear view mirror, depending on where you mount your Escort this may be an easier install. There have been many post showing this connection.
