Can someone recommend a fuse to connect a radar detector? Im having difficulty finding one that will come on when starting and turn off when stopped. I have a 2024 nismo Z.
Thanks
Steve

I used the blendmount mirror tap. I normally tap the fuse box. But the mirror tap has improved - they have four sizes with a flat blade connector pins.

looks like another member used the 5A “IGN meter” fuse with a bussman add-a-fuse.

Thanks SilverBullet! I found some good stuff in those links. I ordered a pigtail from Z1 that looks like a good clean method of using switched power.
