[Shop-talk] auxillary power jack

[Brian Kemp]

Tim,

Two easy options:

http://www.amazon.com/DASH-MOUNT-VOLT-POWER-SOCKET/dp/B000IG205Y/
or
http://www.amazon.com/RoadPro-RPPS-16ES-Extension-Cigarette-Lighter/dp/B001JT7B3A/
Comes with bracket that can be attached up under dash.

or something like
http://www.amazon.com/Pico-0921PT-Volt-Power-Socket/dp/B001QRW5SG/
that you just let hang from under the dash area.  This one has an inline 
fuse.

I don't have any experience with the above sockets.  They are just 
representative samples.  I recommend you have the power fused at some point.

If you have bullet connectors like my TR6 and don't plan to pull much 
current, you can probably find an easy place to plug in without cutting 
any existing wires.  You can also replace bullet coupler (LUCWB300) with 
a quad coupler (LUCWB301).  Pictures are at

Once consideration is having the socket switched on with the ignition or 
unswitched and always on.  It seems cars now have them switched so you 
don't leave something to drain the battery.
