Default Mirror wiring

I've made a mount for my radar detector and now I cannot find where I've seen the wiring on the mirror. I've tried searching "radar detectors" on the forum and I get all kinds of stuff on earlier generations. I even Googled it and just got a lot of ads.

I thought it would be a sticky but I can't find it.

By the way, if you take a 3" piece of 1 1/2" PVC and saw down the length of it, then heat it to spread it slightly, You have a start for a mount, secured with nylon ties to the vertical mirror mount. When I find power, I'll try it out.

Thanks!

Dave

Shop I talked to does not recommend getting power from the mirror. They recommend going to the fuse box and running cord into the windshield assembly.
