I found a nice 3M automotive twin (can do two cars) power cord (#03873na) that
Wal-mart sells for about $6.00. It is fully insulated with a plastic end cap.
I plan to cut the cig lighter plug from the end and attach bullet connectors
and a inline fuse. I am going to plug into a power source and ground under
the dash. Being pos ground (and I want to keep it that way- no reason why,
other then I want it that way) as long as I keep the GPS unit or cell phone
charger/ phone fully isolated from any grounding source it will not be an
issue. I plan to keep the power outlet under the dash probably on the parcel
shelve.
Wanted to get a second option on two things: The positive would be the center
of the cig lighter jack(lack of a better term- nipple). And the inline fuse
should go on the positive side and not the negative side, right?
