JGC Radar detector hardwire / day/night mirror power draw

The size or gauge of the wires controls the power available on the line.
I would imagine, but don't know for sure that the wiring could take an
additional 250 ma. draw.
Just be aware that a hard wire install could make your vehicle illegal
to drive in some places in North America....

Are they legal in your home state? I wouldn't hard wire it in until I
was certain. And will you be driving in any states where they are
illegal? I used a suction cup mount with a rechargeable battery pack
that could be stashed very quickly if I was pulled over. Even in states
where they are legal having one visible is the difference between a
warning and a ticket if you get pulled over. Something to think about.

you would be better off taping into the blue wire from the ing switch that way it turns on and off with the key and can't be a battrey draw
