Hi all, I'm looking to hard wire a GPS to my E-class right in the bottom right corner of the screen and I'm tempted by the fact that there's a set of fuses just below there, accessible when opening the door. A quick look in reveals a few gaps and I thought I'd simply insert a blade to get a...

Changed the cluster for a known good one, still no rev counter. So, thinking to myself, where is it fed from? Any pointers guys...

Is there an RSS feed for this forum?

After fitting my after market head unit in place of my Audio 10 HU in my CLK I've found that I need to install a live ignition feed to get the radio to turn on an off with the key etc. How easy is this to do or shall I pay a local ICE installer £50 to get it done (which includes hidding away...

Hi All, I am installing a parrot ck3100 into my W208 post facelift with Audio10. I have plugged the supplied cabling in and the stereo works OK, no power to the Parrot, I suppose as the power is supplied via the canbus to the Audio 10. So I need to tap a 12v ignition feed somewhere, I...

I'm sure I have seen this but can't find it! :confused: I want to take a feed from the back of the cigar lighter so I can add a double power extension socket. Does someone know how to remove the trim so I can get at the back of it and use a ScotchLock? The info I thought I saw illustrated how...

I have an ancient P1 333mhz laptop (panasonic CF25) - BUT its ruggedised and water proof (ish) with a magnesium case... almost unbreakable. I would like to use it to display a composite video feed (no sound).. how? It has no USB... I want to do this for my work - they film off the back...

Some of those that attended the recent Skid Pan GTG will know that I had a problem with my Road Angel that day. Basically for the entire 200 mile (approx), 3 hour round trip my RA failed to get a satellite lock-on and just sat there displaying "- - - mph" at me... Not Good. On the following...

I'm looking to install my Road Angel in the empty space below the radio. It fits fine but I want to hard wire it rather than use the cigar lighter. Can any one tell me the easiest place to pick up 12V when the ignition is on ?........ If you're going to tell me it's the base of the cigar...
