Bf Usb Input Not Working

[quadie]

id have them , they are power only

[EvilDaifu]

tab and bjc

I cut the plug off though and wired it to the factory socket, and ran it up into my center console, so nothing looks out of the ordinary.

Got a pic on how you did it?

[quadie]

cut of cig plug , solder to wires on exisiting cig socket ,

What quadie said except I used blade piggy back connector things instead so can be removed easy.

most time consuming part was removing the center console to run the wiring, not that hard to do though.

Looks neat there in the console!

I thought I read it in here but must've been another thread. Someone said something about if you run the power for the extra 12V/USB's you start losing power over the lot of them? And said running power straight from the battery would be best. Anyone shed anymore light on that, or all good and all of them will have 12V with something plugged in each?

[1600dave]

They all get ~12v, just draws more current to supply the extra accessories.

Depends what your running as to whether it needs a dedicated circuit direct to battery. Mines just for chargers etc, so the stock sockets 10a fuse is fine for me.

[Shyfrd]

Ahh yep, cheers thanks for clearing that one up for me

You're thinking about the cigarette lighter in the boot for a fridge thread I think shy, much more load from that than a charger (or 4)

[Shyfrd]

Ahh yep that's the thread I'm thinking about. Yes you are right about the load lol. Thanks mate
