Keep us updated on if those USB adapters work.
They came in yesterday, but got a little derailed - we've been doing a serious burn including no booze, so the celebratory bevs yesterday wiped me out
Anyway ...
It works!
At first I thought it didn't, then I tried directly into the 12v in the armrest (not using the adapter) but that didn't work either. I was using like a 30 foot long phone cord, and funny enough I recently pitched about 20 of them, so I didn't have another to test, rooted around for like an hour till I found 2 spools of cord, my crimper, bot no RJ-11/12 connectors.
Went __back__ to the original cord, remembered the V1 12v power adapter was a little janky, fiddled with it, same cord, fired right up
As we knew, the USB-C ports stay hot, so I don't think I'd leave it plugged in for an extended period where I wasn't using the car. The little module that's inline on these adapters has an indicator light, again, small draw I'm sure but could add up over time.
So that's a 12v radar detector >> 12v_to_USB-A adapter >> USB-A_to_USB-C adapter
I'm using these A_to_C adapters from Cable Creations for my USB drive too, they have a 90° angle so don't stick out from the port.
Today I'm going to see if I can run a cable behind the charging pad area into the center console, not remove anything, just try to fish it through.
