Hardwire Road Angel

Hi Guys,

trying to hardware my road angel into the glovebox, i have ran the cable from the Road Angel in the middle of the dash into the glove box, does anyone know the best cable to use to supply the 12 v?

sorry if this has been answered before, i have been trying all day and cant seem to find a feed that goes off when you turn off the RR.

any help would be great

If you take power from the cigarette lighter, it will be on with ignition on, and off when off. It's pretty easy to get the trim off to access the power at the back of the lighter.

Get a piggyback fuse holder and it is very straight forward. Mine is left on all the time One in front one in back) and does not use the power protector, have left it on for four days without starting car and no issues, but if you only use car for short journeys it would be an idea to perhaps get one of the power protectors too

Piggy back fuse holder is a good idea, alternatively, if you want to get an idea of trim removal, go here

Note: I removed a lot more than you'd need to remove (no need to remove the radio/hevac to get to the cig. lighter for example).
