For those of you that want a simple adapter for your Radar Detector that actually works

[McManly]

I have tried lots of usb-12v converters and none of them have lasted very long. Granted, I am powering radar detector and dashcam. The only thing I have found that works is a 120v-12v that i plug into the 120 console plug.

Well, so far so good. But I guess I shouldn't be surprised if it craps out

And it will.

And it will.

When it does, I'll let everyone know

Gen5diy is the way to go.

So I bought several different usb-c to 12v adapters and only one out of the three worked.
The others didn't pass through enough juice to get my Uniden R8 or my 360 Max C to operate properly.
I keep it tucked in the glove box and out of sight when in use but wanted to show how simple it is and I couldn't be happier.
9 bucks and I've got my shields up again.
Sorry if others have posted on similar adapters but at least this one is a solid performer.

Just use WAZE. I haven't gotten a ticket in years. I don't even use a radar detector in my 911 anymore.

I was simply trying to address a solution for those of us who use detectors, and aren't hardwiring.
That's it. Love my setup, and bonus...it's still working...
