Hello I just bought a 2023 ZR2 and have a small issue. No cigarette lighter DC outlet? I have a radar detector and a Yellow safety light I used to plug in my 2919 Denali. What are people doing to compensate for this?

I hardwired my radar detector into the fuse panel and installed a Blendmount on the mirror stalk. Very sweet! You can also buy a cigarette lighter plug and hardwire the same for your safety light.Hello I just bought a 2023 ZR2 and have a small issue. No cigarette lighter DC outlet?

There are two fuses on the passenger side fuse panel...easy to access and tap. I can take another look at mine and share which fuses I tapped for constant 12V and switched 12V. You will need both for a dash cam and only switched for a radar detector. You can always order fuse taps from Amazon...they have every type under the sun.I'm in the same boat, have a dashcam that has a 12v cigarette power cord, so it looks like we need to hardwire.
Before I start using a multimeter, do we have a few options for fuses that are constant / accessory power in the passenger side fuse panel? I want to hook up my dash cam and use parking mode, so I need both constant and switched.
My local auto parts store only had micro2 fuse taps, so I'm limited to the Micro2 slots. Trying to see if there's anything that I can use or if I have to order a micro3 tap online.
Also, is there a decent ground location on the passenger side?
Perfect, this would be super helpful. If they're both Micro2, I'm set. If it's Micro3, it's off to Amazon I go.There are two fuses on the passenger side fuse panel...easy to access and tap.

You will need 1-Micro3 tap as seen in the pic. You can catch a great ground right at the fuse panel...lots of metal to attach to.Perfect, this would be super helpful. If they're both Micro2, I'm set. If it's Micro3, it's off to Amazon I go.
Where did you ground to?
Perfect, thank you.You will need 1-Micro3 tap as seen in the pic. You can catch a great group right at the fuse panel...lots of metal to attach to.

I just use this and works fineHello I just bought a 2023 ZR2 and have a small issue. No cigarette lighter DC outlet? I have a radar detector and a Yellow safety light I used to plug in my 2919 Denali. What are people doing to compensate for this?
It only supports 8W which may not be nearly enough to support what he wants to connect, but interesting nonetheless. Thanks for sharing.I just use this and works fine
Well works for my beltronics radar detector so should work for most othersIt only supports 8W which may not be nearly enough to support what he wants to connect, but interesting nonetheless. Thanks for sharing.
Guess maybe safety light won’t workWell works for my beltronics radar detector so should work for most others
I wasn't referring to the radar detector.....Well works for my beltronics radar detector so should work for most others
Thank you I just ordered one but irritatingI just use this and works fine
So I wired in to the fuse panel just as you did here and anything I plugged in got fried. Was a micro USB cable. Fried a dash am, a battery bank, everything. Tapped into the ground, voltmeter tested and everything. I have no clue what the hell happened. Any

As an EE, I'd be happy to chat via phone and discuss this in greater detail. PM me and I'll share my cell if you want to connect. You should never "fry" anything if it's fused correctly with the proper value fuse.So I wired in to the fuse panel just as you did here and anything I plugged in got fried. Was a micro USB cable.
