AEM Wideband install ?...

rd122481 · Oct 3, 2009, 06:13 AM

I am going to be installing my AEM Wideband 30-4100 soon & am wondering where I should tap into to get a "switched" 12volt signal. I know some people have said they T-tapped into the cigarette lighter's power wire, but I use this very often to power my Magellan Navi & am worried about overloading & consequently popping the fuse for it.

What options are there on an Evo IX RS as far as getting a "switched" 12volt signal? Could you please post any pics? Thanks!!

I doubt you'll have any problems with tapping into the cig lighter. Nevertheless, you can always get a slightly higher rated fuse if it pops. People plug in all kinds of things into the cigarette lighter socket (for example, Power Inverters for running a laptop in-car).

Stuff that will definitely require alot more power than just your navi and a wideband..

In order to get access to the power wire on the cd player. You have to pull out the radio, and I believe the 12 volt power wire is the all black one.

Go to the fuse box in the car and ind a 12v ign. source and tap off it.
