Default radar detector, where to plug it in

where do you guys plug yours in at? my passport was fine in the porsche, because the lighter was right above the cd player, but in my 01 a4 its behind the shifter and my cord gets in the way.

put it in front of your rear view mirror or right bellow it and run the wires in the lining on top of the windshield over to the a pillar down to the fuse box.

In Va. its not legal to use these things, however, i know a bunch of people who still do...Are they hard to detect by any cops, whats the likelyhood of a cop finding out your using one if you hide it or turn if off if your pulled over?
