V1 hard wire

[lolfun12]

I am trying to hard wire my V1. I am trying to wire it through the fuse box, which has a grounded screw right next to it.

I bought the add-a-circuit mini ( pictured below). When I check my manual it says fuse 8 is for the ignition and it is 15 amps. This gives me no indication of volts. How do I figure out which fuse has which volts? None say 12v outlet. Fuse layout attached as well.

i know some people go through the radio fuse..

[lolfun12]

In my case fuse 11? If so 12v is supplied right?

I don't know about the radio specifically but the ignition should be 12V alright.

If you try the radio fuse and it works, then you're sorted

I have to wait for my meter and then I will check which ones are live ONLY after ignition, i'll take some pics and wire it up. Looks like number 4 goes to moonroof, which only works on ignition. I am going to tap into that and see what happens.

It's pretty unlikely that part of your car isn't 12V. Unless you have multiple batteries or a very unusual electrical system.

[speed-dreams]

it should be all 12V unless you have a special battery if not get a multimeter and test it...

I am pretty certain all modern cars operate on 12 volts, so it doesn't matter where you connect it, but the add a fuse is rated for 10 amps or less, and connect it to a switched lead, which means when you turn the key it will operate.

THANKS. I just finished hard wiring the V1.

I used fuse 4 from the moonroof, and the add a circuit. Radar turns on/off when car does, no need for me to twist the nob anymore. I apoligize for my lack of education on cars. My car was 12v, as it should be. I did not know that the standard was 12v and I was being a little dumb. I got my multimeter, found a grounded screw and wired it through there. It is all set now.

Will post pics soon. Will there be any detrimental damage because V1 is not shut off using its power switch?

Look at that...3 hours and 14 minutes later.

It doesn't take forever people...get your RD hard wired!
