evinX Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 LOL someones wired into the headunits power wire, which should of been ignition, you need to swap the gauge wires to an ignition wire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ugp Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 It's been wired into the head units power antenna wire. Take it from the + on the fag lighter instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an ignition live on the head unit also, I'd rather use that than the accessory socket TBH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's running an aftermarket HU, chances are its quite near the load rating for that fuse. Taking it from the fag lighter stands a much less chance of popping it. Unless they run from the same one? Cant say I've ever checked on the Supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
