Just a heads up, the parts came in today, so I did it the old fashion way...test light, and a bolt for a ground.
Anyway, With my 09 Laramies, the color code was as follows:
Power: Pink/White
Ground:White/Green
and these are for the wires that go to the rear view mirror.
it is sure nice to get rid of the cable going down to the power plug in the console.

Bremner: can you also provide a detail or two of the nifty little mount attached to the underside of the mirror ?? Is that glued ?? Did you make it yourself or where to purchase ?? (details)
Earlier in the thread: Drober30 provided links to a few sites for the Invisicord and a Mirror Mount system originally intended for the 350Z.
I ran across another website for a different Mirror Mount system (from one of the forum ads - imagine getting something more useful than "Chevy Silverado XFE beats XYZ in MPG"):
http://www.mgtmotorsports.com/mgt_blendmount.html
This company offers specific mounts for 2-3 different Detector brands as well as a few other "generic" mounts (and quite a selection of replacement Mirror systems and Engine Performance Monitor systems).
Anyone have experience with any of these ?? At prices over $70 for a little bit of machined plastic and metal, you really want some independent reviews before diving in...

The Inviscord works Great !! Attached Ground to the Black wire (in corner of wire harness connector for uConnect Mic'd Mirror) and power to the Pink wire (center of bottom row).
My Beltronics i940 Detector powers up when Ignition is ON and Off when Off - perfect.
And NO CORD dangling down to the Center Console !!
I'll be looking to buy another for my other car...

Now to find a quality mirror-mount at a reasonable price...

If you Click on the last picture it should enlarge it. I cut off the part of the mount that went to the suction cups. I took the part that attaches to the radar detector and drilled a small hole through the bottom and used a small screw to hold the mount on. It took some trial and error with bending the metal to get it level.
