Hi, I need to tap into a feed which gives at least a 5V+ output when the Ignition is turned on and stays on 5V+. If possible somewhere from the boot, is there somewhere from the CD Changer area which will give me this? If theres nothing in the boot, is there somewhere in the fuse area which will give what I need? many thanks |

I would imagine your CD changer to have a switched live and a permanant live, not sure of the colour codings tho! If not then the cigerette lighter socket is switched I believe (do you have one in the rear?), if not then you could use the switched live from the radio head unit or direct from the ignition switch! ------------- Previous: BMW E34 525i SE (2.7 ETA Conversion w/Schrick Cam) BMW E34 530i V8 Touring Current: Alfa Romeo 156 1.8 TwinSpark |

Thank you flipharvey! I never even thought of that! My radio doesn't have a switched live feed, I tapped off the window wiper stalk. now if I have the radio on and squirt water onto the windscreen, the radio cuts out and back on whrn I stop squirting. Another job for me at the weekend I believe. Paul -------------  95 E34 530i V8 Auto Maldives Blue |
