Is this true? If so, would make things much easier for me!

It makes it easier to connect on a temporary basis.

If it is going to be installed pemanently then it is better to hard wire it in, somewhere discreetly.

1. like I said, on a temporary basis it is fine, but hardwire for pemanent installs.

2. I would not recommend using the Lilliputs 12V 'egg' regulator, they are cheap cr@p, run it from a proper regualted supply. (PC PSU or a well made 12v-12v DC regulator.)

Like this?

You will want to run it from a M2-ATX or Opus

Okay. Thank you.
