Which circuit should I use to hardwire XM Roady XT?

Post by johnnyi »

I am going to be hardwiring my Roady XT into the fuse panel and curious as to peoples recommendation? I don't have power windows or door locks and was thinking of wiring to that fuse location? Any pro's or con's?I have the "add a circuit" type fuse and just need to make up my mind on which fuse location to use.

I tied into the Pwr Windows Circuit today and discovered it was an always on circuit. I really wanted a circuit that would power on and off with the vehicle. I will more than likely use this circuit when I purchase my PIE adapter.The Bussman Add-A_Circuit is only rated for a 10. Are there any other circuits I can tap into that are only power on when the vehicle is on and stay within the rated capacity of the Add-A-Circuit?One other TAP that I may get is the Bussman BP-ATM-TAP ATM Mini Fuse Tap. It fits over the leg of an existing ATM blade fuse. Provides a power tap for cellular phone, stereo component, etc. Crimp-on connector easily attaches to power leads. Thinking of piggy backing on the Cig Circuit.http://www.bussmann.com/images...JPG simple project but not electrically inclined...any help appreciated.
