Accessing Sunroof motor for power
My radar detector is currently powered by the rain sensor circuit and an RG11. However, there is a new detector coming that needs more power than an RG11 can handle and will use a USB type C connection.
1) I am thinking the sunroof motor might be a big enough circuit to tap into but dont the specs? 2) is there a guide or video on how to take the trim pieces down for access? Thanks |

I am also waiting for it to come out, but have a similar uncertainty about where to get power for the USB-C connection Hopefully some of the resident gurus can offer advice Since I don't have a sunroof that wouldn't be an option for me |

You could always tap the wires going to the cigarette lighter socket and run the usb-c up the a-pillar.
Some people noted there's a hidden cig lighter socket underneath the glovebox area |

Think we will be ok. In Jon's latest video he said they will be providing some type of step down adapter, 12v>5, and that current mirror taps should work with Theia.
