Wiring in non-dimming rearview mirror

Hello, All. I was looking into picking up the auto-dimming mirror in hopes that there would be an exposed wiring connector on the back, such as most aftermarket mirrors have. The idea here, was to use plug my Mirror Tap into it to power my Escort radar detector. Well I looked at one at the dealer yesterday and there is no such connector/plug. I'm trying to not have to splice/ground anything and the Mirror Tap has always fit the bill. Now to the point... I know that there are a few wires and small connector in the "arm" of the non-dimming factory mirror. Do any of you happen to know if any of said wires have 12v power or ground? My hopes are that I can slide the prongs of the Mirror Tap into that connector and avoid any of the splicing/grounding craziness. Much appreciated!!!

Disregard. I just went down the weather stripping on the passenger side to the fuse block.
