    Ignition wire for Carnetix - where to tap into?

    Hi all,

    Need to figure out how to run the ignition wire to the P1900. Does anybody know - do I need to find a specific ignition wire, or can I just tap into any wire that powers on with ignition (sorry, don't know the difference)? On my Subaru, I had a specific blue wire to the radio that I spliced that was called "ignition". Now, I am thinking of just using a fuse tap to go to, say, the cigarette lighter - it turns on with ignition, so it's got to be good enough?

    Thanks,

    -pN

    Any wire that powers on with the ignition.
    Have you looked in the FAQ yet?
    How about the Wiki?

    It is a low draw line, so any ignition line with 500mA will work.
