Just bought one, good bit of kit.

Anyone got any ideas about hard wired power supply rather than using the cigarette plug provided. Need a switch live, would the interior light work for that ? I heard mention of that somewhere ? It needs 5volts would the light be too much power ?

Thanks

The interior light is 12v, there is nothing on your vehicle that is 5v.

I would presume that there is something within the cigar lighter plug that reduces the voltage.

Probably best to buy a cigar lighter socket that is prewired that you can plug into - like this:

(I'm not suggesting this is a good one, it is only an example)

You could then hardwire that (through a fuse) to an ignition controlled circuit - the interior light circuit is permanently on.
