I'm wonder if it's because of the added power taking up by the radar detector.
Meaning, if you turn the radar detector off while still plugged in will you get the normal range back?

I have mine hard wired and I dont have any range issues with my garage door opener while the detector is on.

That's good to hear. Did you get the mirror tap prongs inserted on the top bottom left or right of the main power/ground mirror wires?

No I did this...

Yeah, I still feel like I'm going to break something by jamming these prongs into the mirror. I'm going to guess no one is going to recommend taking it to car toys or something?

Those prongs do have a good amount of resistance. When i installed mine i remember having to push a good amount of force to get the prongs in. I can take a picture of it and post it here later if you need it.

If you don't mind a picture would help me out greatly. Just so I can see how far down they go, what side of the main wire you put them on, etc. Thanks.

It doesn't bother me, the garage door still opens.
