Fuse F5 in the fusebox behind the glovebox is unused and will give you an ignition switched live (that's where I've wired mine from). Use a piggy-back fuse connector (readily available from ebay) and it's an easy job |

When you buy the piggy back, remember they are mini-fuses. Smaller than standard blade fuse. |

Is there another "F5" fuse in the fusebox behind the glovebox?

There are no more 'switched lives' in the central fusebox, but there are two unused 'battery saver' fuses F15 and F18. These will lose supply automatically a few minutes after ignition off. |

Gravon, Where did you purchase it from? At £20.00 got to be worth a go. Best regards, Bill T Life Honorary Member of Wallasey Motor Club. Licenced MSA Radio Operator for 35+ years. Rallying is the only sport. |

Hi Bill, I bought it off ebay. You can buy them even cheaper than £20! |
