ICMS304 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Good morning, Thanks for letting me join. Has anyone used a hard wire kit to extend the power lead for their phone, so that it can be used as a Satnav? Any help appreciated. Cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Hi, You need a: mini blade piggy back fuse adapter 10Amp mini blade fuse 12v USB power adapter (preferably a Q3.0) 15Amp cable 2 x Insulated spade crimp terminals (may come with usb socket) 8mm Crimp ring terminal for the earth feed to attach to a bolt somewhere. USB cable of choice. Then you just need to find a fuse which becomes live when the engine is operating. Overall if you can purchase a dash cam hard wiring kit then your 95% of the way there.

Lenny Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 6 minutes ago, ICMS304 said: Many thanks Lenny No problem, Might give an idea for fitting to say; I've fitted a double USB socket inside the rear side of my glovebox, wired to an ignition live; one USB socket powers the dashcam system which is also hidden in the glovebox and the other USB socket has a cable connected for the tomtom Satnav, I just take it out through the glovebox door when required. Guide here if interested to view it's on a mk2.5 focus; 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
