Radar Detector Mirror Tap

[Raptor215]

I just got a radar detector and figured I'd install it with a mirror tap. Does anyone know which wire is used for the ground and which wire is the hot? I couldn't find a wiring diagram.

Thanks

Just get a meter and and start checking the pins on the front--One will be switchable hot and then find the ground! I did mine on my 18 but my plug has diff color wires from that!

Sorry for bringing up such an old thread. Does anyone know which wires are used for the 2018?

Almost one of the easiest mods out there. The mirror tap kit is well worth it - Amazon.

I guess the 2018 Raptor is different?? My Raptor doesn't have a plug like this on the back of the mirror. It has a couple of large plastic covers that need to be removed to get access to the wiring for the mirror. There are a couple of plugs under there and many wires.. just don't want to have to try to test every one of them to located a keyed hot and ground wire if possible. :/
