Putting the Aeroforce gauges and LC1 in the car. Gauges should get power from the OBD connection I think, just need switched power for the LC1.

Didn't get a chance last night to look too close to find one and thought the smart ones on here could save me some pain and suffering.

I think the instructions said it needed to be fused for at least 5 amp if I remember right. Don't really feel like putting a wire through the engine compartment if I don't have to.

And yes, I did do a search on here and didn't find anything.

I've seen threads on LX about it....some say the power outlet (cigarette lighter for us old folks), others say no. Speedy's video advocates a cirkit boss.

Jesus Alan... where you been? Lotsa info on this. PM Jay and have him email the schematic of the wiring. Watch the video a few times to understand how it's done.

Best advice I can give you is get all the parts in advance and take your time. Put the extra effort to do a neat and sanitary job. Cirkit Boss is the way to go. Anyone can do this job. I took my time and did it over a few days. You are gonna love that Aeroforce gauge.

The thing I would do different on this mod would be to install "DUAL" Aeroforce gauges like HemiSam did. Aeroforce gauge gives you a wealth of information.

Good Luck man!

He didn't even read the first post or the fucking thread title.

GOOD PLACE FOR SWITCHED 12v IN THE CABIN????

Maybe I should be more clear...............I don't want to do a switch fucking thing, I only need one wire, to connect to power in the cabin....................

Power outlet like Sean said will probably work.

I've tried finding it on LX for you (bored at the airport right now), but I can't where some guy listed some issues with the power outlet. I do know that a lot of folks have gone that route.

No worries Stevo, when you start having a pattern of not reading like Jim, then we will have issues.

Probe the fuse box and find an unused fuse hole. It will have switchwed power to one side, and not the other with the key on. You can then put a 5amp fuse in it with a piggy back spayed terminal that wraps around the prong on the fuse (sorry, I don't know the official name of it or have a picture right now). Instant fused 5 amp connection ;-)

That is exactly how I wired my Sirius receiver in my old Durango. Never had an issue.

Just get a length of wire and strip the ends. Touch one end to your tongue and the other to other places until you find the one you want. You'll know when you find it. Then turn the the key off and repeat!

Make sure you have a good grip on the frame....

The cigarette lighter can be constant or switched, just depends on how you plug in the fuse. See photo:

I know you will not want to go this route, but I have my gauges, intercooler pump and radiator fan switched to turn on and off. I need new labels for the switches. Sam turned me onto this set up.
