Hey I got a FM mod connected to a video switcher which needs powering. I'm going to run it straight to the battery with a fuse. I was thinking there's no on off switch on it or a remote wire connected to it. Would this drain my battery when I'm not using it? And a question for my LCD and DVD power. My DVD power comes with a car adaptor and has 12-13.5V DC in and out. Can I just put the plug in and out to my LCD, would the it burn out my TV because it says 12-13.5V? I was just thinking the car lighters only 12V so can someone answer these two questions for me? Thank you guys.

Tap the ignition harness (accessory wire) for the FM mod, or even behind the radio.  Plugging the components in, and pulling them out all the time would work, but if they're going to be mounted, why not cut off the plug and wire them directly?

My ex once told me I have a perfect face for radio.
