Hey all
I hardwired my wife's tom tom in her Hyundai Tucson so since i just discovered this forum i thought i would snap a few pics
1)
this is everything i needed ( i did end up going with Velcro instead of wire ties it was easier)
2)
I cripped on a loop connector for the ground
3)
I removed a bolt ( there always a few in the dash) and put the loop connector around it and bolted it back in
4)
I added the existing fuse and a spare fuse to the mini fuse splicer i found at advanced auto and then cripped that to the positive(red) wire
( this has a fuse, the cig addpeter has a inline tube fuse and the cig power supply has a fuse as well so i think were covered)
5)
Install the fuse splice, in this case i used the power for the emergency flashers figuring that 1) the always have power and 2) that its not 100% critical like headlights or abs
and yes the hazard lights still work
6)
here is the entire packaged shoved in there
7)
Here is a shot of what it looks like mounted (i need to hot glue down the cable along the side but its not going anywhere as it is)
I have done my VW Passat this way as well with some minor differences ( i have mine mounted much higher)
please feel free to ask questions or post comments
Linear Mode
