Hi all, I have searched on this but did yet find the exact answer I was looking for...
I have 2011 FE390 (EU) and would like to make a 12 volt connection to power my GPS and possible my IMO trip computer or Tripy. Off course I can pull a cable from the battery to the front, but then I would have to make a switch also to be able to power off the equipment. I have searched for a spare connection under the dash but did not find a "spare" I could (mis-) use.
I read in one of the topics that power can be pulled from one of the headlight wires, but:
- Not sure which one
- Not sure if it would have power when the headlight is off (which I prefer)
Being a non-techie and seeing the wealth of knowledge here, looking forward to hear your best practise for this.
Thanks!
