Hi Guys ...

I need a live lead so I can hard wire my Dab converter and my speed camera detector , do any of you know if I can take it from the ignition barrel as that`s easy to get to , and possibly what colour wire should I look for ..

Both the units have in line fuses so shouldn`t need to connect to the fuse box ....



Cheers

 

Where are you mounting it?
Plenty of lives in the overhead console or down behind the ashtray, glovebox switch.
Best to go near where you are installing.
Personally i would not go from ignition

 

Easiest tap is the cigarette lighter; if you look at the fusebox, you will see that the fuse can be put in in TWO ways; one is tied to the ignition hot, so the lighter will be dead when the car is off, the other is for full-time "on". There is a blade right next to the fuse socket that can be used to access the live feed. Be sure to fuse the tap, as well.

 

Thanks for that , I tagged on to the live feed on the back of the ciggie lighter today and it seems ok ....
Gonna need another feed for my speed camera detector any idea`s ? ....

 

True, but be aware that this is only for pre MY2004.25 when the electrical system had a major update and this arrangement was discontinued! The cigarette lighter can now only be a switched supply that fortunately is what rht54 wants in his 2008 model.

 

Hi guys...
Anyone know the colour of a switched feed in the boot , I have the sovereign with the sat nav and multi changer and I need a switched live feed for my DAB converter ,any ideas ....
There are so many wires going into the sat/changer just not to sure where to tap into .....
Cheers
