HELP !!!!!

Postby dubbwah » Wed Dec 12, 2012 7:51 pm

I Just Pulled both the passenger and the driver seat backs off to put in 2 DVD headrests.
Now I've got the wires thru but now I have to wire it to the fuse box.
Have not done anything like this for a very long long time....
Do I need to get an-add wire to plug into the fuse box?
Thanks

Can you tap into the constant 12V for the cigarette lighter or DC power supply? Using inline fuses? I guess you'd need to run a remote wire also?

I think I'll hit up dick smith tmmw and go 2 x dc-ciggie adaptors and a double 12 v port adaptor for the centre console.
Otherwise $200 instal fee at a sound place :roll:

By the sounds of it you probably should have left it to a pro... Using cigarette lighter adapters isn't the proper way to do these things.....
