Where inside the car can I find a constant 12 volt power source.
Friday, September 21, 2007 8:19 AM
After installing my autoloc kit I encountered that I need a constant 12 volt source for the kit to function correctly. I know I can use a direct connection to the battery, but I would like to use something inside the car instead. Any ideas anyone? A quick response would be awesome

Yeah, I was just reading about that. I believe I can use the cigarette lighter fuse and tap it to serve my purpose. Thanks.

you might not want to put it on the cig lighter because it kicks off when you start the car. im guessing because thats what my car does. just run it off the main wire from the radio that would work just fine.

Nah its fine. I already finished hooking it up. Works great tapped into the Cig lighter. Now I just gotta find the damn wire to intergrate it with my alarm, smh...

What kit did you install? Did you use a relay or did you just direct connect?
