I don't think I can use my cigarette lighter again as I'm already using that to power my radar jammers. I've got a boost gauge and some LED strips I want to install so nothing too power consuming but I need to find a couple good 12V sources. I'v read that I might be able to use a fuse tap or something but I'm no expert. Any help would be great expecially pics, thanks!

But I also used the power cables in the harness for powering a couple of accessories. Added bonus of not having to hack into factory wiring.

Cheers for the photos aswell, great help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboTimTam New Member 21 Member For: 8y 6m 4d Posted 17/05/17 01:16 PM Author Share Posted 17/05/17 01:16 PM Not sure what model or anything, can't remember since I installed them along time ago. Can't see it written on any of the parts either. I know I have a small manual for it somewhere which does specify what it is but It's not with me. I luckily received them off an old neighbor of mine who loved all electronic devices and stuff, he upgraded so I got his old ones, so they are definitely old tech but still do the job alright. Here are some pics of what it looks like and how I have it mounted. The control box is mounted on the plastic left of the brake pedal and the alarm is stuck on the plastic close to the driver seat which makes a beeping sound when jamming a radar signal. It also doubles as a front parking sensor and I've got a switch mounted under the steering wheel which changes it between radar jamming, off and parking sensor mode in case police question what it is but its pretty hard to see especially at night since its flush with the front grill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
