I'm looking to hardwire a radar detector into my 2012 BMW 550ix. I ran the wire to the front fuse box behind the glove compartment. My problem is I cant find a fuse to tie into that is on/off with the ignition. Everything I have tried is either always on or turns on with the ignition but does not turn off immediately (it times out after a while) - when tied into this type of fuse opening the trunk or a door will also turn the radar detector back on. Does anyone know if there is a fuse in the front fuse box which is a hard on/off with the ignition?

I used an add-a-fuse to fuse #43 in the fuse box behind the glove box. The detector turns on and off with the engine and does NOT stay on with the radio delay.
