where did you guys hook up the power wire?

thanks in advance

 

hook the power wires directly to the battery for the best results. this will help to keep the stray rf waves from damaging your main computer.

 

it only came with around 3ft of wire so i was hoping to get an alternative hookup point so i didnt have to splice wires together to make them longer, is it that much worse is i hook it to like the ciggarette lighter or anything like that

 

Tap into your cig lighter. "Stray rf waves" will not hurt your pcm. lol

 

i tapped into my radio wires. i used the ignition wire for power just in cace i forgot to shut the cb off. this way i know if the truck is off everything is off.

 

i hot wired mine into the power seat..works great and dont have to have the truck on to use it

 

i might look into the radio wires, cuase i have a tendency to forget to turn things off

 

The big problem with not hooking it to the battery is you'll pick up alternator noise, especially if you use the cigarette port.

 

I went to radio shack and brought a plug for the ciggarete adapter and then plugged the wires into that. Works perfect and it shuts off when the truck shuts off.. No ground issues or noise.

 

a plug for the ciggarette adaptor? like you just wire it to something that plugs right into the lighter?
