Hi

I need a live feed for a security device I'minstalling into the Tamora. I will need power all the time. What do I need to do?

Where can I pick Up the power supply from? Does it need a relay ? I guess it'll need an inline fuse? It's not got a big demand on power. It's in the car now, and it's been in for a week and The battery indicator is down to 40% of its battery life. Obviously I don't want to give too much away on here because of the nature of the device...but all I need is a constant 12v supply. Obviously the car is on trickle charge when it's not been used.

Cheers

Buzz

What 99 says or some of the other random loom connectors that seemingly connect to nothing have 12v live on them. Just remember to fuse your device down to the correct level - the cig lighter feed is rated at 20A
