Plugs in and just works
Installed this in my truck and the RAD 490i powers up instantly every time. The fit in the cigarette lighter socket is snug, no wiggling or dropped connections on bumpy roads. Exactly what I needed.

I was worried about alternator whine coming through the detector but this adapter delivers clean power. Six months in and zero issues.

Good spare adapter
Keeps one in each vehicle now. Cord length is adequate, maybe slightly short for larger SUVs but fine for my sedan.

Works but feels light
Does power the detector fine, no complaints on function. Just feels a little plasticky compared to the original cord that came with the unit. Time will tell on durability.

No more battery worry
My wife's car didn't have a USB-C port and this solved it immediately. Detector stays charged and ready. Cheap insurance for a $300 device.

Loose in my socket
Works okay but it sits loose in my older truck's lighter socket and loses contact on rough roads. Fine in my newer car though.
