Here's a discussion showing the harness to wiretap, along with a wire tap link (phone/ethernet style connector typical for radar detectors) from amazon:

Here is a link to show the process to remove the mirror harness cover:

And for what it's worth, here is the Dash Cam and wire harness I have used (I realize you're asking about a radar detector, just throwing this out there):

The wire tap in my link converts from 12V to 5V (USB power) in case any radar detector is similar.
Just use a volt meter to test your wire harness connection for voltage and polarity before hooking anything up just to be safe. |
This is very helpful thank you!
