Hard wiring a cigarette lighter app.

[S2 PTH]

Looking for a solution to a wire dangling over my dash coming from my road angel to the 12v cigarette lighter! I have bought a hard wiring kit from ebay and now am wondering if there are any spare fuses or whatever to do this...? Also, does anyone know of a good route to take this wire and to have it popping out around about where the windscreen vents are?

Cheers in advance,

Phil

vagparts do an auxiliary socket that pops uphttps://sslrelay.com/s74326199.onean...dex.shopscript
check the electrical section

Yeah, but where am I going to put that, on the dash? LOL

The wire I have has a bear wire at one end, so having a spare 12v socket isnt much use. Apparently I've heard that you can just link this into the fuse box wherever or whatever that is!

as long as you fuse it down to protect the equipment you can connect it to any 12v supply
sorry about the confusion ithought you wanted it so it was removeable

Obviously use a cicuit that can be used for whatever current you intend to draw.
The cigarette lighter would be a good bet.

I tried this on the cigarette lighter so i didnt have so many chargers etc, i made a fused curcit and blow my nokia up

Sorry for the useless info i hope you have more luck!

[S2 PTH]

Oh, i guess no1 knows how to do it then! I was under the assumption that I could just wire it up to a spare fuse in some electrical box?!

What did you do? Wire it straight to 12V with no transformer?

[terrybullwon]

Yeah i used a step down from lucas but i fried it at the same time My knowlege of electrics is really bad

wtf? How does your cigarette lighter socket get its power?

You're probably better off pulling apart a cigarette lighter adaptor made for charging the phone, then connecting that to a 12V circuit. I don't spend much time with the phone plugged in, so I haven't really looked into it.

[terrybullwon]

well i tried it on the phone before i pluged it into the snooper as i didnt want to blow that up. At least the phone was covered

Power Point

HI

IF YOU NOT LEAVING UNIT PLUGGED IN ALL DAY/NITE BUT DISCONNECTING IT

YOU CAN CONNECT TO FUSE BOX TO ONE OF MANY SPARE BIG TURMAILS ON FUSE BOX

I CONNECTED MY BOOT SPARE JACKING POINT ( for electric boot cooler box..and electric tyre pump )
AND A POWER SUPPLY TO MY AMP AND PHAT NOISE


ONE FUES BOX(underneath )IS A FEW BIG SPADE TERMINALS 8 OF THEM.....ON LETTER L SOME WILL BE USED FOR ELECTRIC WINDOWS ETC



I USED A VW/AUDI FUSE HOLDER TO FUSE BOTH SYSTEMS (PARTNO ESCAPES ME NOW BUT WILL FIND AND POST LATER)
SLIDE IT ON SPARE LOCATION UNDER DASH PANEL ON DRIVERS SIDE



IF YOU LOOSEN THE TWO BOLTS ON SIDE OF DASH....WILL GIVE ENOUGH CLEARANCE TO FEED CABLES ONTO DASH PANEL/WINDSHIELD



HOPING THIS MADE THINGS CLEARER

cheers
