how do you power your dscustoms or digitalww screen?

**phoTToniq** · 08-18-2003, 02:30 PM

Hi Folks - I was wondering how you power your wwdigital or dscustoms 7" touchscreen? I tried searching - but apart from the opus thread i found nothing obvious to my very untrained eye.
Thanks in advance,
P.

Any good 12V source will work. If u have an inverter, you can use the supplied AC/DC adapter. Or, you could plug it into a free 12V DC car socket. Or, you could use the yellow/black 12V leads from the PSU (Preferred).

I power my lcd through the power wire of my head unit since it is so close. You can also wire the lcd straight to the battery.

always a good idea to fuse anything you add to the car

freestyler, how did you figure out which wire was ground and which was power? Im assuming it can be done with a multimeter, but i've forgeten all i learned in EE class.

yellow = 12v
red = 5v
black = ground

I thought there was issues that the unregulated voltage from the car power causes flickers..

Is this true?

Yeah, its always a good idea to use a fuse. The wiring going to the head unit is fused already but if you wire it straight to the battery its a good idea to use a fuse.
