disco 0 Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 hey people just wonderin if anybody could give me some tips. ive got an alpine dvd player and a seperate alpine sat nav system an i was just wonderin if there was any way i could get rid of the cigarette lighter plug on the end of it and somehow wire it so that the sat nav has got permanent power (every time i unplug it, it looses the sattelites) and put the dvd player on a switch on the dashboard.i was just concerned that if i give the sat nav permanent power it would drain my batteryany ideas??

scottlock 0 Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 sorry mate i been well bizzy!! right, you're gonna need to send me a pic of the wiring & units if thats poss. as i am a bit confused about this cigarette lighter! sounds like its been modified, if so it may be wired wrong as there should be a permanent feed to the sat nav via the yellow wire, it might be going through the ign. separate switch for dvd on dash- no probs - earth as norm, live from dvd to switch, from other side of switch to perm or ign live up to you Link to post Share on other sites

disco 0 Posted April 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 Scottlock there aint no point in takin a photo cuz there is just a birds nest of wires down there so i drew a bit of a diagram of the wires.but i cant post it cuz i aint a premium member an i cant join cuz it says its down for maintenance.!! i ignored all the obvious ones with proper moulded plugs on.i just want a switch on the dashboard for the DVD player but the sat nav needs permanent power. hope you can help!! so how can i get this diagram to you?
