Hi Folks
I am in need of a 12V lighter socket as the car doesnt have one. So i bought the lighter socket of the right size thant fits the hole & an inline fuse. I now need some help on the wiring side.
I looked behing the dash & couldnt find any spare live cable or earth. All wires there are either for the after market cd player which came with the car or the fan/air control console.
I need to know.
1. can i splice into the stereo live wire or should i runa separate wire (preferably to the ignition).
2. the socket also comes with an LED light. where does that wire connect to. bearing in mind i only want the lighter to be visisble when i turn on the lights.
I am just a bit wary of taking the live from the stereo as it may overload if i have lets say, a satnav & stereo operating at the same time.
Any advise would be much helpful.
Cheers(Y)
