Yes, since you can tab into mirror harness, it was perfect time. I used Blendmount's mirror tab 12".
Green+Brown: positive
Black: ground

Ok, so nothing really to do with the clearsight mirror. Thanks!

no, not for mirror. Just perfect timing for hardwire if you have radar detector. Detector is really simple. Just disconnect and connect back with new parts and one new cable. Just cable fishing requires more of luck and skill same time.

Mike Valentine, founder of Escort and Valentine One, and the one who brought the radar detector to the mainstream market was a member of the Ohio Valley Region PCA. He would always jokingly complain about Virginia, which happened to be one of the states with the most interest in radar detectors, despite being against the law.

He passed away suddenly and unexpectedly this past September, and was one of the nicest people I've come to know. A proper petrolhead with an amazing car collection of mostly Porsches (including a 997 GT3RS 4.0, a 918 Spyder, Carrera GT, 911 Dakar, and many mothers). He was always approachable and friendly, and he gave so much to our local community - mainly the University of Cincinnati and the Cincinnati Ballet.
