USB-C port standards?

[Leafy]

Which standards do the USB-C ports support, both the normal ones and the Lux specific ones in the dash? Are they 5v only or do they also support 12v? I would like to get away from one of the usb to 12v socket adapters that use a voltage booster to get from 5v to 12v for my radar detector since they are all noisy and screw up the radio reception.

Anything in the same zip code as the windshield?

Nope.. Have to get creative running wires. Tap into a power wire behind the dash or an aux switch if ya have them.

So is that a for the fact that the lux usb-c don’t support usb-c standard voltages outside of 5v? But I could switch it to an aftermarket port like non-lux owners use that actually supports 12v and even 28v?

I have the USB A version of this from @StickerFab

Might be what you're looking for

That will only work if the usb on the dash outputs 12v as an option, which is what I’m trying to determine with this thread before I buy an adapter.

It does not, unfortunately. All USB ports will stay at 5V.

Source: me, i measured it with a tool.

Thanks! Hopefully the next person trying to see if our usb-c ports will do 12v or any type of pd standard will find this thread on Google.

Watch the video on the page, it seems to work just fine if you get the v2

Yeah you see that rectangular box in the cord? That’s the thing that destroys radio reception that I’m trying to avoid.
