Nighthawk m1 in-vehicle power
Hi,
i’m Planning to install nighthawk m1 in my car and hide it inside the car trim. I have power connector harness but I don’t know if there is a custom way to power the router using that harness. All, I know is that it has USBC port but there is no adapter from the connector harness to usbc.
I can power it using the 12 volt power socket and usbc converter but it would be visible.
any help would be much appreciated.
i attached a photo for clarification.
Cheers,
adam
I don't understand what the OP is asking. The MR1100 supports USB 5V OR USB 9V (QC2/3) via its USB-C connector. The OP needs to buy a 12V to USB charging adapter (preferrably QC2/3) to use to convert from 12-14 VDC in the car to what the MR1100 needs. Where he places said adapter and/or the MR1100 is up to him.
The simplest thing to do would be to purchase these items:
Tape/cable tie them together, cut off the aligator clips and connect it to the cars 12V system. Then tuck these and the MR1100 (without battery) away anywhere he likes. Glove box? Center console? Trunk?

You should go to another forum. Car or Land Rover forums.... or ask some electrician guy.

Thanks for your help, I might do exactly that. Buy the 2 you have mentioned and connnect then together then one end to the car power connector harness and the other (USB) to the router (usbc port).
