12v -24v Source for GPS

[dingdong555]

Hi.

Looking at getting a GPS and this is the hardwire cable - OzSpy Security Solutions and Surveillance Equipment - GPS Vehicle Adaptor for GPT001

I have a VZ, so what would I need to solder the cable to? The wiring harness or something like the cigarette lighters source?

Any 12 volt source. It's only power. Hmm I would be wary of where you mount it if the gps doesn't have battery back up though.

you will have to pull the dash apart but behind pocket thing with the lid under the radio, there should be a 3 pin plug that is unused which is for the smokers pack cig plug. that should have an accessory feed and an earth which you could connect to

Ahhhhh, yeah, I'll use that, I saw somewhere in another thread it said what was 12v/earth etc... just need to find it.

Also, wraith, do you mean I should be wary so when the car is OFF the GPS still has power? (via battery)?
