^ thats different.. LOL we just talking about adding a new cig lighter.....
BUT anyways you cannt just run a hot wire to the stock one... you need to put a INLINE FUSE from a few inches from the powers source to keep it safe! as long as you fuse it it will work great and trouble free if a problem happens where that new wire shorts out on something or what ever you have pluged into it shorts out...
CHEAP INSURANCE!!!!!!
i cannt find pictures of what im talking about BUT if you go to autozone or maybe walmart even.. go to the electrical stuff and find a CIG LIGHTER PLUG..... good ones have a small hinged lid on the front to cover the cig opening...
you can either use some screws to secure it under the dash OR just tuck it up under the dash to hide it and just zip tie it to some other wires or a brace..... that way you keep it hidden.
Don't pretty much all car adaptors that plug into a cig lighter have an inline fuse already? Do you need another one?
Just wondering.
the fuse isn't to protect the device, it's to protect the cig lighter and wiring up to the cig lighter. i've seen it happen all too may times when people use their ashtray for holdign change and they accidently get a penny in the sig lighter and blow the fuse, if the fuse wasn't there, you'd fry the whole wire and risk a fire, IMO fuses are (as the previous poster said) "cheap insurance"
