Default A radar detector probably consumes less than 0.5 amps

Can't believe it would overload any circuit. It wouldn't draw more than 2 amps for sure (or at least I think).

Default V1 power requirements

From the V1 web site tech specs:

Power Requirements:
11.0-16.0 Volts DC negative ground
225 mA typical standby
425 mA maximum alarm condition

Less than 0.5A max - pretty miniscule, you could add that to pretty much any circuit in your car, and not worry about overloading the circuit due to the increased load.<ul><li><a href="http://www.valentine1.com/specs/">V1 Technical Specifications</a></li></ul>
