tapping into power at various places.

Default I don't think it's possible. LIDAR jammers need to be close to the targets which are the license

plates and headlamps. Thus, they are typically located next to the front of the license plate in the grill area.

Default Forget jammers...

...first, because it's unclear how well they really work and, second, because if you get caught with one, your Oregon ticket will seem like a piece of cake, a minor speed bump compared to the catastrophe you'll experience.

I think you have the allroad premium package, which means the auto-dimming mirror. Someone has discussed how to use its 12V lead to power a V1 that they have on the windshield up there.

My alternative, as I don't have that mirror but rather the other one with the little day-night-flip toggle, was to attach the V1 to that toggle, so it rides just under the mirror, powered by a lead routed around the window trim to the fuse box.

The V1 has two antennas, one rear-looking, so it needs a clear view backwards (and doesn't like metallic window tint). But it's extremely sensitive and provides directional information about sources of radar signals. It is extremely useful as a tool to keep you aware of what's going on out there, speed-trap-wise. HPH
