I'm needing to splice into some existing wires on the loom of the mirth-mobile to effictively make a 'Y' from the 12v outlet to power a hard wired phone charger, I hate Scotchlocks with a passion, so I was going to use some inline splice joints http://www.vehicle-wiring-products.eu/VWP-onlinest... strip the insulation off, crimp & solder the required wires in, then apply heatshrink to the outside.

I was wondering if there is a more elegant solution that I hadn't come across?

A proper crimp does need or want solder.
But what harm would it do?
