Here are some pictures that show how I hard wired our radar detector into the fuse (#35) panel.I used a mini fuse with a tap and then attached the ground to an existing bolt that already had other grounds connected to it. It works perfectly and turns on the car is running and off when it's not. Entire job took me less than an hour and I was in no rush at all.
Good Luck,

I have an a 2012 Edge Limited and the fuse panel looks identical, however, my fuses are low profile mini's not the regular mini's. Also, you indicated you used the #35 fuse, which, from you picture, would be my #33 fuse which is indicated as a spare. So, I'm wondering if there was a change to the low profile and to the numbering of the fuses. Anyway, was you #35 listed as a spare?
