Radar for your car??
Wow.
Something like this:
Just kidding! I think you mean a Radar Detector
I run with a Valentine One, works great! I have it hardwired to hide the powercord.
You'll get lots of opinions on whether the battery unit is a good thing. It wasn't for me. YMMV.

The escort solo is alright but it's detection capability drops significantly as the batteries age. The escort passport 9500 and Valentine 1 are probably the two most popular wired solutions on the market. I have the 9500i and love it. The GPS capabilities put this thing into a whole other league.

I've actually got one for sale
https://www.beltronics.com/store/rx-65-blue.html
It was used for 2 weeks then I upgraded to the GX65 Red.
It comes with the case / power adapter / detector / suction cups. Sorry but no manual.
I'm asking $320, its $380 new, and it was only used for 2 weeks.

i've been using the escort 8500 and it is absolutely amazing, you can find it for cheap on ebay (prob less than $200), it's already saved me over a $1000 dollars worth of would-be tickets.

O my gawd!
get a valentine. They are expensive, but if you are willing to buy a radar, why not get the best. They will also upgrade it for you if they come out with new stuff for the fraction of the price of a new one. I hardwired mine to the fuse box(there's a DIY on here) and then ran the wires through the roof lining and mounted it on the mirror with a 3/4" mount I bought online.
Works like a dream. Catches everything and tells you were they are in relation to you. As well as how many.
