15A Add a Circuit
 

I am going to be hardwiring in my V1 and want to tap into the fuse for the cig lighter to do so, which is 15A. All I can find are the 10A add a circuit parts.

Has anyone just replaced the fuses in the 10A part with 15A fuses and had this work?

It seems like it might be a bad idea...

Doesn't the v1 come with a fuse built into the wire? If not there are mini fuse holders and fuses you can find at your local auto part store.

just use a 10A. the housing for the add-a-circuit can melt if 15A. unless you're giong to be running a high powered vac from your cig lighter 10A is more than plenty.

also remember that radar detectors only pull like 1A. you can just solder a fuse in-line and tap directly into a switched 12v. :)

out of the fuse box, which is the best 10A that turns off with the car and turns back on when you start the car? I have the same add-a-fuse issue. I'll be hardwiring next Tuesday when my blendmount comes for V1

Just use the wires behind the 12 volt plug on the passenger side. A lot easier than going behind a fuse box.

yah, i completely removed that useless cig lighter on the passenger side and using it as my power source for several things.

If they are small enough you could add a 1amp radar detector.

I only wanted to go that route because I have the wiring from my old car, easier to pull out when uninstalling also.

if you use taps you just yank the spade out when you're done with the car. done. lol :D
