tomtom hardwire

yup... Just two little additions and you'll be set then. Don't forget to add a fuse on the positive wire to the new socket. Safety first ^-^ Second, We've found a LOT of times but many sockets (from different stores even) we have gotten a hold of, are backwards on the wires. Do a continuity test on the socket to confirm which wire is which. Ganbatte Ne!Never send your ducks to eagle school.

alrighty, i think i understand now. my last question (for now) is where i can find the fuse. i'm assuming it would have to be for a 5V2A resistance. is that a common resistance. ps - started fiberglassing tonight.

oh son of a bitch! i just bought 3amp fuses at walmart..... oh well, guess i'll return it. they had the holders and the cigarette plug there too, so holler. guess i'm in the home stretch now. pics of fiberglassing can be found here. http://forum.mazda6club.com/index.php?showtopic=67823&st=15&gopid=992306&#entry992306
