| NobodyBlamesTheHappyGuy:D | Re: Lighter Cable Extension Feed To Head Unit It's also easy to take the switched live from the ignition barrel. 3 screws under the steering wheel and the plastic trim comes off. Use a clip onto the orange wire, and route it up to the HU or as an amp remote etc. 5 minute job. Morten.

| Re: Lighter Cable Extension Feed To Head Unit Sorry to sound like a moron, but what is the point of this? Is it for additional power for a power hungry head unit, or is it something to do with having power whilst the ignition is switched on?

| NobodyBlamesTheHappyGuy:D | Re: Lighter Cable Extension Feed To Head Unit It is for getting power while the ignition is on. The standard HU communicates with the car's CAN network, and is not ignition dependent. Hence, aftermarket head units lack the 12V+ switched live to run properly or even shut off or work at all... Also, the OEM HU will not shut off an amp remotely which is crucial for the comfort of your battery.
