Default 2012 suburban ltz 12v at rearview

I have a 2012 suburban ltz and I to hard wire my radar detector. I see on the back of the mirror there is a wiring harness. Can someone tell me which wire is a 12v source and which is a ground.


Thanks

When I did mine, I just probed with my DVM. That's the safest way.

I thought someone made an actual harness for this? or was that just in my head as a good idea? buy a M/F of the connectors, wire them all up with an extra switched 12v out, and sell it for $40 to people who didn't want to splice up their mirror stuffs...

drop your overhead console and you will have better access to the wire harness... here is a picture of what I tapped to power my dash cam...
it comes on and and goes off with ignition switch... there is also battery power there as well...
