Default What color is the power wire for the auto dimming mirror

I want to hardwire my radar. Anybody have a clue? I did the same thing on my Acura. Unfortunately pilots aren't modded as much so I haven't been able to finds pics or someone who has done this.

Thanks 2012 exl 4wd

I have a Blendmount with an Invisicord hardwire, and I tapped into the yellow/black wire on the far left-hand side for power (as you're looking from the back of the mirror). The ground is the next one over.

I wasn't aware that there's more than one. All mine says on the original package is 8" Invisicord, which I ordered a few years ago.

Yeah, black on the Invisicord and the mirror.

Yeah, I plugged in the Invisicord flat terminals right in on top off the existing wires. There's just enough room to jam them in there for a decent fit. I'm not sure if there's a more sophisticated solution with the new cords, but this is how they recommended doing it on mine.
