Hard wiring radar detector in f83

Hi Gent

I just bought a escort max 360 for my m4 vert. With my previous cars tapping power to the roof console was easy. Obviously that's not going to work in the vert.

Does anyone now how to tap the mirror or take it apart without breaking it to get power and ground?

thx in advanced.

Planning on doing it soon with a Blendimount...tired of the sticky suction cup on my Escort 360 MAX falling from the windshield every couple of hundred miles esp in the TX heat!
