2014 E63 AMG S
2014 E63 radar detector hard wire (questions after doing some research)

Hey guys, new to the forum and expecting delivery of a 2014 E63 AMG S in a couple weeks.

My first order of business will be to move my radar detector into this car. I've done a search and a bunch of reading on the forum and I still have several questions:

1. The 2014 W212 does not have the 12V outlet in the glove compartment box, correct? If so, the tutorial demonstrating running the wiring into the glovebox along the headliner and A pillar on the passenger side wouldn't work for my car.
2. I've done a search and I'm still confused... Do the 2014 W212s have a fuse panel on the side of the driver steering column (accessible with driver door open)? If so, I was thinking I could tap one of the fuses here.
3. If there is no interior fuse panel in the front of the car as mentioned above, could I tap the rearview mirror as a power source? I saw a post where someone did this on a different model but wasn't sure if this was an option with my car.

Thanks in advance!

Just tap into the windshield area. In front of the mirror or sunroof switch.

Way easier the. Running wires down the pillar
