Default Tap power from rear view mirror?

Hey guys,

I need to direct wire my radar detector and I thought a good place would be just below or behind the rear view mirror. I would like to draw power from the mirror since it's close by and must have power to supply the digital compass. Has anyone tried this or have thoughts about this install? How do you take the mirror apart without breaking tabs, etc?

Thanks!

It's easier to run a wire to the fuse box:

That looks like a great idea. The pics really help. I will do that rather than fooling with taking the mirror apart.

Thanks again!
