Default look in the tech section. There are multiple posts of escort and valentine hardwire installs with

pics and detailed instructions.

Default 75x connector is you best route, switch power.

Make sure you line has its fuse etc. If you got the hardwire kit from escort you should be set. Wire it up go around the pilar use a credit card to push it in the edge.

Default one more nifty trick

take some masking tape, and start rolling it into a tight cylinder, sticky side outward. get it to about 10mm across, and jam it in the gap where you stuffed the wire. it'll keep it from falling out.
