    I am working on wiring an escort radar detector using the provided Escort rear view mirror bracket. I cannot determine which is the power and which is the ground in the rear view mirror harness.

    I wish I could get a radar detector. But they are illegal in Manitoba.

    here is what i found for 2012 and 2013... excuse all the other wires from my backup cam bypass!! light green on the very front driver side is power and the black with white horizontal lines on the very top right passenger side will be your ground!
