I like this concept! At least the car comes with 2 power ports, if you remove the lighter. This would allow all sorts of things to be added in (hard wire in radar detectors, seat warmers, etc.) and with it fuzeable this adds in protection too.

Which plug are you going to use, lower dash or console? Let us know how it turns out with installation and wiring in devices.

I'm thinking the actual cig lighter socket, not the power port. The console one. Cause it's closer to the passenger side of the car.

This kit plugs in to the car, and also the original lighter socket! (original socket is still used, just tapped without cutting / splicing)

It's like a no cut tap.

Plug everything in and re-assemble.

Want to use it to connect my solar panel!

I'm following your stereo upgrade.

My sail was just replaced, I think I told you? Not as easy as they make it out to be. lol

Tony, will post if I get to this! It's sitting here right now. Working too much!

I may have a shop install it -- we'll see!
