It depends if you want permanent live or switched (ignition) live?

Regarding the earth point, yes that's the one to use. Thumbs Up MY16 Landmark - Yulong White

I think I used 53, cigarette lighter? There are better earths on the left 'A' pillar behind the plastic work. Richard

Use a mini fuse piggy back connector with a lower rated fuse Wink
