Default Hook up for Radar detector

I purchased a hook up to power My radar detector from the power source on the back of the mirror. However being slightly handicapped I can't access the proper way to hook this thing up! I just hate having cords everywhere, GPS,RADAR DETECTOR, Etc! Any help will be greatly appreciated! You should see Me trying to clean the inside of the windshield!
Or for that matter watching Me attempt to get up from a seated position ,I bet the seat back will not last much longer! GOD,I love this car!

If I recall correctly, you push the red pin into where the brown wire goes into the connector for the mirror, and the black into the black. They will be adjacent to each other. Mine was for a 2001. I seem to recall earlier cars having a different color scheme.
