Cigarette lighter still on after I turn off the car
Hey!
"Santa" got me a radar detector and it's awesome but running into one issue. When I turn the car off (fully off); the radar is still getting power from the cigarette lighter by the cup holders. I'm just worried this is going to drain the battery if left on Thanks, |

I recommend hard-wiring the detector to mirror for a much cleaner solution. See below link for an example https://www.amazon.com/Detector-Hard...tor+mirror+tap

This is the way to go IMHO. Easy DIY as well.
