[QUOTE="carguy19, post: 14323311, member: 47250"] The circuit and fuse for the mirror is designed to support the voltage and amperage for the mirror, not the mirror and a radar detector. Similar to if you have a wall outlet in your house and you put one of those 1 into 4 gang plugs into it and plug in 4 electronic devices. Yes it will work and power your stuff, but for how long before it blows out the circuit or starts a fire or shorts out? I am very particular with my car, I've learned lessons with cars a long time ago with electronics especially, to do things the right way the first time, because eventually you will have to go back to it to correct it down the line anyway. Most likely you wont have a problem running a radar off the mirror, I just wouldnt do it that way for my own car. Maybe I'm too picky. [/QUOTE]
