Wire color/pin in rear view mirror harness for hardwiring pwr/gnd for radar detector?

I've searched, but couldn't find anything. Does anyone know which pin and/or wire color the power and ground wires/pins are in the rear view mirror harness? I am planning on hard wiring my radar detector there.

Thanks in advance!

If i were you, just tap directly into the fuse box... This method is way better and there is no wire splicing required... go to an auto store and buy a ATM fuses tester... test all of the fuses and see which fuse doesnt light up green on the tester... after you found a fuse that doesnt light the fuse tester green, start your max and see if the same fuse you tested lights up... if it does this, then thats the fuse you want to tap into... you can stick the positive wire into the slot... for a cleaner installation, buy an ATM fuse tap in autozone or advanced auto parts... just make sure the positive wire for the radar is long enough... i know it seems alot but once youve found the right fuse to tap into, just run the wires in the pillars and there you go... i did this when i installed my LED strips near my fog lights....

I think I have a pic on my cell phone I took when I wired mine in a year or two ago. I'll take a look and if nothing else, report back on the color/pins I used.

No problem..those pix are using invisicord. The pins have been secure and viable for over a year now.

This a long shot, but recently got wire taps and trying to do the same thing. Can you post pics as well? I was trying to do similar to your pics but a bit blurry. Thank you!
