Default Radar Detector Power from Mirror

Does anyone have an idea where I could get a wire diagram for the 2015 yet? I have looked all over. What happened to the days of red is positive and black is negative?

I want to install my radar and on my 2011 I just tapped into the power from the mirror. I would love to do the same here. When I pulled off the cover I noticed the area around the camera is heated. i suppose I could use a test light to find it, i will probably start with the yellows. Any ideas?

I went over to a local Car Audio store called Mobile One Auto Sound and had them install a hidden power cord I purchased from Escort. The power cord has an inline mute switch to mute the Escort Radar detector. The total cost to install the power cord was $50.00 labor and $25.00 for the power cord from Escort.
Here is a picture.

Thanks for the input guys, the diagram doesn't seem to match up with what i have as far as colors and pins. I wonder if the dealer will install something like this.

Unplug it from behind the mirror and test them.
