12V Wire?
I have an AVIC D3 installed in my smart not sure if that effects this but anywyas... I'm trying to locate the 12V wire so I can tap into it as a power source. What color is it/where is it? I believe I saw Evilution post a map/guide labeling all the wires but my searches pulled up nothing.


Thanks.

Additional 12v socket (updated)

It would be easier to help you if tell us what are you trying to do.
Also, always use a fuse if you connecting anything in the car.

I purchased some LED lighting to place under the dash for ambient lighting (Brabus lighting was about $500 ) and I'm trying to connect it. It already has a fuse connected onto it. I was going to connect it to the 12V wire....

This should be easy. Just get blade connectors and crimp them to the wires, connect ground and plug it in the fuse panel.
