Default [REQUEST] AL Priority "Parking" sensors question

Hello guys, I am pretty new here. I am going to install AL Priority parking sensors to my car and have a question about where to tap power from. It has a negative and positive cable and requires 10V-17V of power to opperate. I tried to find a guide, but all other jammer installations didn't have the photos of where it taps power from. Really would appreciate the help, thanks.

There should be some power accessories taps in a couple places. Just get one of those cigarette lighter adapters and plug it in.

Well, I already hardwired valentine 1 and it was no problem with add-a-fuse gadget, cuz it had separate wires for power and grounding, but I never had to tap with a wire like this.

I have three terminal banks installed behind my drivers side kick panel by the fuse box.

One is fed from an add-a-circuit (like you used for your V1) to get continuous 12V.
The second is fed from an add-a-circuit to get switched 12V (12V when the car is on)
The third is grounded to a bolt by the fuse box.

This way I can easily add accessories on their own circuit and they all share a common grounding point.

For the ALP specifically... I happen to be installing my own very soon .... the manual states the control box should be powered with SWTICHED power. So find one of the switched power circuits in the fuse box, and use another add-a-circuit.

Yes, you can.
