Best Way Run Multiple Electronic Devices

eastwest2300 · 05-02-2018, 04:07 PM

All you audiophile freaks, quick question for ya.

Whats the best way to run multiple electronic devices in your Z. What kind of electronic devices you ask? A dashcam, and a hardwired radar detector.

The issue Im having right now is the radar detector staying on when the car is off, which makes me have to unplug both when I leave the car. So, I'm missing something.. I'm likely tapped into the wrong fuses.

STOP Lamp fuse is the one that is always on (I use it for my homelink mirror)

I don't think there are any other fuses that are on battery power in the driver side panel.

You need to tap onto a fuse that powers on when car is running. wipers, heater, ect.

So far I've added a homelink mirror, radar detector, laser jammers, backup cam, and a boost gauge... I figured I would end up installing a bunch of stuff at some point so I used a couple of those add-a-circuits in the driver's side fuse box and wired them to terminal blocks.. I have three, one constant 12V, one switched 12V, and one ground... now whenever I add an accessory I just wire up to the terminal blocks... depending on where I need to run wires in some cases I can add something new in a matter of minutes.
