I see. Good point about warranty, I had not thought of that angle. But if they wanted to be stinkers, which we know they have been known to be, they could baulk about running wires through the pillar too, even though they only connect at lighter socket.I pulled the complete pillar cover away which you can see best in the fourth picture I posted. Since then some people said they have done this without pulling off the cover at all.
By the way you mentioned I went through all that trouble to use the cigarette lighter socket. That way my whole goal with this project. I didn't want to tap in to anything as to avoid any pushback from Tesla if I were to have electrical issues, and I wanted to have access to the mute/memory button on the cigarette lighter adapter from Redline. If I was going to tap I could have gone to a mirror tap or many sources along the way from obd to the wires that power the wireless charger. I haven't had any issues using the Redline 360c with this method. I wonder if it's a Valentine1 issue you're seeing.
I ended up tapping Camera power, pretty happy with it. Fairly easy to hide before bringing in for any service.
