Hard wire a radar detector

Hard wire a radar detector
I'm trying to hard wire a Uniden R3 in my wife's 2021 RR to use with a mirror mount for the detector. There are two types of harnesses in general to do this:
Type 2: I couldn't find a fuse box inside the passenger compartment. Is there one? So I removed the cover from the one in the engine bay directly behind the glove box but this time, I couldn't find a way to get a wire from the fuse box into the passenger compartment without going around the door jamb, which is not an option. However, I was looking from above the car. Perhaps it would be more apparent from below.
Given this, I have a few questions:
Regarding the rear view mirror, is there 12v power up there? If so, where? Would I have to remove the larger plastic cover to access it, and if so, how do I get the cover off? How can I remove the mirror?
Regarding type 2, is there a way to go from the fuse box through the firewall? If so, I could easily hide the wire by tucking it in various places (e.g. the headliner).
Now the easiest solution is a plug and play harness that will work with the factory harness, like is available for a lot of GM cars, for example, but I haven't been able to find one for the RR.
- Pull 12v from the rear view mirror by back probing a plug, or
- Pull 12v from the fuse box.
