black is not always ground... get a multimeter, test light or probe and check the wires. why do you need the power wire from the mirror lights?

I saw on cardomain this guy with an srt4 that had the radar detector hook on to the power of the rear view mirror instead of the cigarette lighter

you shouldn't pick up that wire from there b/c it's a constant wire. if you forget to turn the radar off it'll drain your battery. run the wire down to the ignition harness and grab ignition.... blue wire.

I found out that the wire from the radar has another wire (white shell) inside the black wire (exterior).

there should only be 2 wires that you're concerned about.. that's power and ground... the shell is just probably a shield
