Default 12 volt power from visor for detector????

Talking to some friends and they said somebody makes an adapter where you can get 12 volts from the vanity mirror on the visor to run a detector....My mount is the one that mounts to the existing screws on the visor (passenger side)...I use a cordless detector now but would like to run the Valentine without having the cord hanging around.
Anybody have a link to something like this????


Thanks

Dave

I've never heard of that one, but there is something called the invisicord where you get power from your rearview mirror and plug into your radar detector, with just a short little wire that isn't hardly noticable.
