This weekend we were traveling in a rental car when I got in an accident. I have GC, but it's permanently installed in my car. It's made me realize I'd like something I can take with me when traveling.
So I'm looking at picking up the XS for the girlfriend's car and for taking with us when traveling and renting cars. It looks like it's a native 12V barrel connector as compared to my GC with its 12V-to-5V USB conversion. I'd like to keep the plug intact for travel.
So what I'd like to know is what is the maximum power draw (in 12V amperes) of the camera, so I know how to fuse it properly. 5A should be sufficient, yes, including supporting a radar detector that draws less than 1 amp? And for the barrel connector, which size it and is the center positive or negative? There doesn't seem to be a ready-made hardwire kit, so I'm looking to make my own.
Also, is the V2 going to be available in time to be delivered for a trip we're taking to Germany and leaving on September 19?
