Hooch Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I need a switched 12v feed in the cabin, where's best place to source this? The stereo would be idea but would this have any negative affect on the stereos performance? It would be used to power phones now and again and a Bluetooth dongle.

Hooch Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 How easy is it to access that as its right down on the passenger side? Is it easier to go from the rear lighter? It would be better than the stereo but I don't want to rip the whole dash off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnH Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Where in the cabin do you need the feed to go to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooch Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 Centre pretty much so easiest way to get it there. It needs to go to the fag ash tray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cs2000 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Ive done the same mate, get in the passenger footwell and look up, you can see the cig lighter from there, very easy to tap into, much much much less hasstle than using the one on the rear plastics.

Hooch Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 (edited) Right been looking into it and it is it ok to connect a 12v power source to a USB chargeable device as I believe they should only be charged at 5v? Will it cause damage to say mobile phones if its feeding 12v? Does it require an 12v - 5v inverter? EDIT: Something like this http://www.ebay.co.u...=item4ac4937ef8 Or this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Waterproof-DC-Converter-12V-Step-Down-to-5V-3A-15W-Power-Supply-Module-/121105505554?pt=UK_BOI_Electrical_Test_Measurement_Equipment_ET&hash=item1c32735d12 Edited September 10, 2013 by Hooch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
