I hard wired my radar detector and found that all the fuses appear to be constant, none of the circuits turn off with the car. So must remember to turn it on and off. I had a dash cam but not going to install unless I can find an easy fix. Cheers

My Mazda 3 also does not have the wireless charger, but that switched white wire i referenced is there in the kickpanel.
I presume that pretty much all Mazdas are pre-wired with that white wire since the wireless charger is available from the Mazda parts department as an accessory. The only way to know for sure is to open that kick panel and see if that white wire is present on your particular car. And if it is, you can get a needle-type 12 volt Voltage tester that you pierce the wire's insulation with to see if it's hot with the ignition on, and not hot with the ignition on. That's what i did since i have such a tester.

I have a 2021 Mazda 3 Sedan and with the info from a thread in another forum that has the instruction sheet for installing the optional Wireless Phone Charger, i found an ignition-switched wire in the driver's side kick panel that i connected my V1 Radar Detector to so it comes on when i turn on the ignition, and turns off when i shut the car off. It is a white wire in there that powers the OEM Wireless Phone Charger and i tapped into that to get switched power. Works perfectly.
Since the CX-30 is based on the Mazda 3 Sedan, it may have the same white wire in the kickpanel area. See if you can find an instruction sheet for installing the optional Wireless Phone Charger in a CX-30, and/or remove the kick panel cover and see if the wiring is the same as on the 3 Sedan. I'd look at my wife's new CX-30 but if i took that area apart she'd have a stroke. The pictures in the Mazda 3 thread are pretty clear so see how they compare to the CX-30.
I think i attached a link to the picture that shows a big red tap with a big red wire that's clamped onto the little white switched wire.
Here's the thread:

Switched Power @ Drivers' Kick Panel
From OEM wireless charger installation manual: Can confirm that white wire works fine with 3A fuse, though it is paired with ground from the lighter socket, which may be necessary.
