Dear DrCosmo Thank you for your inquiry. If you have used your lighter, then just cut the wires and then connect them to your car's Plus-n-Minus. Sincerely yours, Astra Depot

Jeremiah this unit have wires on the back, connect this wires to +12vdc directly,fuse is internal but if you need to extend wire length make sure you use good AWG 12 wires or better!

This is a hard wire unit. You must connect it to existing wiring or connect your own cord with plug.

You have to wire it in. I just wired it to a 12 volt lighter plug and it works perfectly fine.

Yep 12v hardwired. We connected ours to a marine battery for remote use in our huts that do not have electricity.

Hi Lisa, connect the BLACK wire (ground) directly to the battery and the RED wire (power) needs a 15 watt inline fuse. Best of luck.

Yes its easily pluged/powered by accessory port. However it can be hardwired to the vehicle

This had to be hard wired. I also thought it might be able to be plugged in but no. However, I bought a plug and used the wiring to add the plug and it worked fine.

I have mine ran through the factory dash switch. You could run it directly to a 12 volt battery, but I strongly encourage putting an inline fuse in.

What is your question??? If you don't know how to install it and your NOT handy with 12V Electrical systems you will have to take it to a shop. If you handy you can also YouTube installation on it and go from there, take your time and go slow don't rush so you're not blowing fuses, or damage anything in your vehicle.

It draws power from a fuse. For myself, I used an add-a-fuse that allowed me to take the wires and plug them directly into a fuse already in my truck. So if you could find a way to wire the wires directly into a power source, then I believe thats the only way. Maybe just by wrapping the wires around a batteries posts?

As long it is wired to a 12 volt battery. Or you fuse box if you want to hot wire it. But it must be 12 volt.

It needs to also be tapped into a 12v source. Mine is installed behind my stereo.

Your fuse panel is +12 volts. By piggybacking another circuit, you are tapping into a +12v feed. So "power side" is the answer.

This is wired directly to your switch, so it is basically hardwired. You take your incoming wires to the outlet/switch run them to this unit and than out of that to your switch/outlet, tuck it all back in the box which can get tight depending on how many wires are coming into the box.

yes you can comes with a on and off switch so it can be hard wired directly to the battery or any other power source justl to be on the safe side add a 3 amp fuse just for protection

It comes with a fused lead that attaches to 12V in your vehicle. It mates to the red plug in the photo, and is plain wire on the other end. You will have to tap into 12V and ground.
