Mirror tap vs cigarette port
As title says I kindly need help figuring out the best way to power RD.
I have used cord that it came with for some time now and after following this group I figured I'd go for something more hidden.
Now that I have the mirror tapped I noticed that the radar stays on all the time (I have it auto shut off after an hour) and when I get in my vehicle I have to press power button to turn on before each trip.
Yes it's sleeker and hidden cable but I worry about effecting the longevity of device having constant power and pressing the same button numerous times
As opposed to an 11 foot cable I can connect to the Cigarette port; although a more complex installation would be worth it? For the peace of mind?
To reiterate I've always used the cigarette port cable it came with and would always see it on and off with the ignition. So it's my first time ever messing with auto shut off and having it directly connected and lowered constantly
Thank you in advance
UPDATE-
I found a way to connect to the CMBS camera via [link here]
Thank you all for responses.
