I had been searching for this and give credit to this thread:

Cheap Homelink | 2021+ Ford Bronco Sport Forum - Broncosportforum.com

I am using a Valentine One, Gen 2, and purchased this kit:
Amazon.com: Hydencamm 14" Upgraded Mirror Plug Wire Tap Radar Detector Hardwire Power Cord Kit for Escort Valentine One Uniden Beltronics, Mount RJ11 with Braided Set of 3 : Electronics

My vehicle is a 2024 Badlands. I removed the cover from the cameras around the rear view mirror. Simply pull down on the trim panel by placing your fingers between it and the head liner. It will pop off. Find the small harness up to the right and unclip it. You tap into the WHITE wire for power; the BLACK wire for ground.

The V1 now powers on/off with the ignition. Very clean installation and easy to do...once you know which wires to tap into. It literally took me less than 5 min. to do. Very happy with it!

If anyone here is interested in buying a new radar detector, I found that you can get the Uniden models for about $100 below Amazon on Aliexpress.
