Dongar makes a power adapter plugs into mirror and gives you a USB A or C outlet to plug into. It’s made for dash cams, but why not for radar detectors - assuming the power supply to them is USB. But question, it’s a Tacoma not a Corvette, you really need a radar detector?Hello! Has anyone done the mirrortap wiring yet and figured out what two wires to tap into to get power to a radar detector?
While I totally agree with you, I’ve bought the adapter, used the USB C adapter that came with it, there’s tons of room to tuck it away in the front camera cover on the ‘24 Tacoma. That said, if you wanted to buy a further “slimmer” adapter there are these on Amazon. Think you may be waiting awhile for them to just make one with the USB C.Dongar outlet is usb A. They include a usb A to usb C adapter but in 2024 I feel like the outlet should be USB C with an adapter from USB C to USB A if needed. Will personally wait for Dongar to update their outlet to USB C to purchase. In the meantime I’ll deal with wire clutter and use one of the two fast charging USB C outlets or the “cigarette” lighter plug for an additional power source.
Radar detectors definitely pick up laser. I've had mine alert to laser numerous times. And unless you're in a small town where they regularly use the older K band, the majority of hits I have is KA band.The cops don’t even use radar anymore really. they use laser to trap speed. The detectors don’t work on that. Also Adas systems on passenger cars run on the same frequency and will set off the detector if I’m not mistaken.
False. Maybe where you are. They all use KA band here. In SoCal they all used KA band as well. Very few Laser. However you can get laser jamming as well.The cops don’t even use radar anymore really. they use laser to trap speed. The detectors don’t work on that.
