Looks like we have a 16 pin mirror connector and from the info I gathered the blue/black is the 12V and the black/yellow is the ground. Please correct me if I'm wrong. The problem I'm having is that the leafs on the power tap are not going in. Anybody having the same problem. Thanks

Not sure to be honest, but please report your findings and final setup. I would love to have a radar detector without the cable running across the radio face, etc..

Which mirror tap wiring colors to use - Ford Mustang Forum

Post #11-13 discusses the 16 pin setup. I hope this helps some.

Interested in the same. What type of radar detector are you using ?

I have a Valentine V1 but was not able to use the mirror wire harness... as I mentioned above I was not able to get the wire tap in so I just gave up.

I couldn't use the mirror harness because it didn't put out 12 volts. I did find wires to use in the overhead console. Just pull it down, two clips total, one on each side. Yellow wire going to the dome light switch for positive, black and yellow dome light wire for negative.

I couldn't use the mirror harness because it didn't put out 12 volts. I couldn't find a power turn on in the overhead console either, just constant power. The search continues. Ill try the visor next.

That is useful info. Keep us posted.

info has been corrected, see above. ^

FWIW I was able to install my Valentine with the Blendmount and their power tap. I used the smallest size taps and it worked fine, once I realized my multimeter had quit working.

Cool..... Which pins did you tap into? Was it super tight?

IIRC black/blue was ground and brown/yellow was hot. Small connectors went in fine. Ran the wires out through the space in the mount.

I would like to be ensure if I try for this will work?

Yes, it's been powering my Valentine for 3 months.
