I've just been reading the Roadpilot manual...
I have 2 wires - a red (12V+) and a black (negative).
I've been scouring around various forums trying to find an answer as I'd quite like to get it done this morning!
I've found that the middle cig lighter wire (brown / black) is the switched ignition. Will it be my 12V+ - as I want the unit to go off when I turn the car off?
This post here:
http://uk-mkivs.net/forums/thread/498738.aspx has people doing the same sort of thing - but they're using both switched and permanent live... why? They have no mention of negative.
I'd rather take the wires from the lighter - as thats where my power cable currently is... although I'll go for the fuse box if its easier and wont void my warranty!
