Where to tap off switched 12V in a WJ?

I'm looking for a wire to tap into on my 2004 JGC to get switched 12V for my radar detector. I looked under the drivers side dash but all the wires are loomed together so neatly that I can't get to any of them! Just sticking a wire under a fuse is a bit too tacky for me ;-) I thought my best bet was to just tap into the cigarette lighter wire -- does anyone know how to remove the interior trim piece(s) so that I can get to *that* wire??? I don't want to have any cords visible from my windshield mounted detector. Is one of the wires going into the inside rear view mirror switched 12V?

Thanks for any help and/or pointers to other sources of info!

I just use the ciggy ligher feed. More than enough for a radar detector. You can use the real thin speaker cable to run power up top to avoid the dangly cord give-away.

On my 2004, all the wires are tucked in so well I can't find a way to get to any of them!
