Default Auxilliary power

Can anyone please tell me the guage of wire I need to connect to the auxilliary power point in the glove box so I can connect a USB port and a Cigarette port ?

Alternatively just a Cigarette port and I can plug a USB port into that/

Thanks for any help.

Thanks I have seen that document and as helpful as it is it does not mention the guage of the wire thats most suitable to be used, I guess Jaguar just want to sell you theirs, already made up, for and extotionate amount !

18 gauge is adequate for a USB charger. 16 gauge would be good for a cigarette lighter port. Use 16 for both if you want.
