Hardwire Escort 9500ix in 2nd Gen MDX

I'm a brand new member with a 2009 MDX (tech with power liftgate). I want to hard wire my Escort 9500ix radar detector through the roof overhead console. I have two questions:

1. How to remove the console in a 2nd gen. vehicle; and
2. Which colored wire should I tap into for switched power in the console.

Thanks in advance for the help.:)

Got the Console Off

The console come out like in 1st gen MDX's, i.e., remove moonroof switch, pull out light assembly, and remove the four screws (2 rear and 2 in the top of the sunglasses holder in front) holding the console in place. Now if someone would be kind enough to identify the appropriate wire to tap (or tell me how I can tell for myself), I'm good to go on the hardwiring. I'll post pix when the project is finished.:)
