I am also stuck on a step. The block that you took off the back of the mirror you said that the black wire with a maroon stripe was the hot wire. I don't have a black wire with a maroon stripe on it on the block.

A cheap VOM will tell you which wire is which.

thats actually a really cool setup. The only thing I would caution would be the potential for the windshield to get damaged and then you would lose your mount. I know at least 3 Zs in my group that have cracks in the windshield including mine. These cars seem to be a windshield rock target.

if you're going to mount so high on the glass why not just use your clip and clip it to the ceiling liner?

free (comes with your detector), and removable when ready to sell car.

That way you dont lose your mount if the windshield gets busted

Yes, it's an aftermarket mirror and I have an Ipad mini in the dash and a HP tablet in the passenger visor for my son.
