Hardwiring New Road Angel and Snooper S5 R
 

Has anyone hardwired in a Road Angel or Snooper recently? Is it easy to get power from the clock or is it better to stick with the cigarette lighter and loop the wiring behind the dash? Just rather not have the wires all over the place.

Any tips appreciated.

Thanks

I snipped off the fag lighter plug on the stright lead for the RA2 and ran it out the back of the top dash panel. It's wired into the ignition cct power on the car stereo plug so it comes on when the ignition is on. Did spend some time with coat hangers trying to get it to come out the vent area, but had to give up in the end. I used the magnetic disk stuck to the dash just behind the centre panel and it stays put ok.

My road angel sits on top of the clock.

I lifted the clock out and fed the wire in behind there. Then removed vents + stereo surround and ran wire down to 3plug cigarette lighter adaptor (£10 at halfords) mounted up behind glove box. If you do a search on here there is plenty of info on how to remove items as i did.

Sticking with cig lighter plug saves cutting into cars wiring and invalidating any warranty!
