Could I cut the plug off the end of this and wire it directly into my vehicle's 12v electrical system to hide it behind the dash?

I am not sure. I would think you could. However be careful doing that on newer cars with on board computers. Your best bet is to use it as it is. I hope this helps. Ken

There should be no reason why you can't. Just make sure you attach it to a live terminal if you want it to work while the ignition is off. Good Luck

Of course, but connected to what? You could tap into an existing fused circuit as long as you don't overload that particular circuit (fuse).You could also connect a secondary fuse, or tap into a cable coming directly from the battery, and installing a fuse appropriate for the size of load to be used.

I would think that you could splice the wire, but the cord and power adaptor (supplied) is so convenient if you have a 110v rec. nearby. You will need a rec. to supply your reciever and you will be able to turn your power off once it locks in to sats. installation was easy if you are somewhat mechanical.

I'm assuming you want to trim the plugs after they're installed. If that's the case, yes I would...very carefully.

With only 4-pin plug you'll need to splice into your back-up light wiring. Wasn't as difficult as I thought it might be (on a Ford Escape).

Cut the plug off the end and connect it. I don't know what color wires that are used so skin back the insulation to see which wire goes to the ground, hot lead and neutral.

You can remove from your vehicle. And it will need to be plugged in to outlet to function

Taped underneath dash. If you don't like cords at all buy a led strip to be hard wired to your battery

Seems a problem of logistics; an extension cord from a nearby outlet would probably be best, as I doubt a 12V outlet in your car could supply enough power for this to function properly.

No - standard 12 volt plug hardwired to the end that plugs into the GPS system

Yes you can do that. You will need a splitter and it needs to be a "DC pass" type. You will end up with an extra power plug and injector.

nope, but you could easily splice a wire in between the plug. I got news for you, 1 of these doesn't do much!

I have mine directly wired to a heavy-gauge 12V cigarette lighter without a problem. To best protect your existing car wiring, though, I'd wire in a relay. It's not that much extra work and it keeps the load off the factory wiring..

No, there is no way to hide the plug, which I am aware of. It does, just hank there.

This will except same plugs as any other port you would have in the vehicle. My situation was different than most as I had one port and two needs. I fabricated a bracket under the dash and mounted it to another power source, the unit worked well and is built well and continues to work over two years later.

Yes cut one end off of the red wire long enough to reach the battery and place the fuse and housing in the engine bay away from anything warm. Then take the rest of the red wire and run it all the way to the amp. You can screw it down to something, but its not important. You can get away with zip ties.

This particular model has a 12 volt port male end designed for use with 12 volt auxiliary ports your vehicle may have. The male end casing can be pried open, but im unsure if can be hard wired. I have seen other models here on amazon that appears to be the type designed for hard wiring, there are alot of different models, just a mater of perusing through them see if they have what your after

I do not believe thin unit will work if there is only one plug under the dash. One of the plugs is for power and input from the truck. The other plug is output to trailer plug wiring harness. I hope that is helpful.
