You guys wanna give me a sanity check here:

I wired in my Garmin GPS V directly into my fuse box (looks much cleaner with no wires). I just want to make sure I am not going to fry my brand new $500 tracking system

What I did was this.

I found a "hot" extra port in my fuse box (ignition controlled). I wrapped the positive wire from the GPS cord around one of the prongs on the fuse and pushed it in (I used a 15 amp fuse...same as the cigarette lighter).

I grounded the ground on a little screw a few inches away from the fuse box.

The power cord for the GPS has a 1.5 amp inline fuse (I checked the cigarette lighter adapter cable that came with the unit and it too had a 1.5 amp fuse).

Anyone wanna sanity check me? You guys see any prob's with this? Anything you would have done differently?

Petey

Sound ok, the only thing I would of done different is get one of those add a fuse adapters, you remove the fuse plug this in its place of the fuse, it has a pig tail that allows you to add a seperately fused accesories, when you look at it it looks like 2 fuses stacked together
