it's easy you only you just have to throw, pushing a bit up and leave without complication. then you must disconnect connectors.

ok i'll make a DIY

Hi YOSO

Did you install this, if so how do you connect to the battery? Through the cigarette lighter wire?
Title: Re: Voltmeter
Post by: Waja on November 26, 2008, 14:36:35
Hey rubix, I personally haven't installed the voltmeter (yet) but I've installed neons.

You would be tapping the power through either the 12v plug or the cigarette lighter wires (as everything would be running through the same line, voltage is shared etc)
