where can I purchase the add-circuit for mini?!?! is there a specific size I need to get for our mini?!? thnx and which slot do I put he circuitvthong in?!?

 

? autozone should have both the regular and mini size.

 

See above and below, I put mine in the upper most 10Amp slot on toward the front of the car, not sure just which one that is without pulling the panel, find something switched so you don't kill the batt and you're set.

 

hey motoron, blimey- i found the visor clip thingie for my v1.

 

 

i passed by kragen they have the add-circuit.. but they have a mini* add-circuit and a regular add-circuit.. which one fits???

 

I *think* you want the regular one, easiest way tobesure is bring in a spare fuse from the car and match it up againstthe package, picktheone that's the right size.

 

alright... i will try it today..

 

alright. i just toook out a baggie full of red and black wires.. with a black box with looks like phone jacks .. and something at the ends of the red and black wires... my question is were to i connect the add-a circuit ... and etc... when i look at this baggie im lost!!!!>..

 

The black box with the phone jacks is what you use to connect the V1. Connect the red wire to the add-a-circuit wire and crimp it hard. Connect the black wire to a screw under the dash (ground wire). You should also have a longer black cord with phone plugs on each end. This is the cord you will connect to the black box under the dash. I would position your VI first and plug in the cord. Then tuck it into the front edge of the headliner, down the A-pillar, through the end of the dash and then under the dash near the fuse box. If you do it this way the excess cord will end up under the dash.

You need to connect the Add-a-circuit to a fuse that comes on with the key. You can read the fuse map on the door to find things you know that come on with the key. You need to use something that is 10 amps or less.

Good luck!

 

so i can connect the black to any screw under the dash?? so i need to get another black cord? or can i use the long black cord they provided? and when i checked the fuse box it has F1 - F40.. im going to pick up a regular size add--circuit....

 

the black box has a velcro so i can just velcro the black box anywhere that fits inside the fuse box..

 

You will connect the black wire from the black box to a ground screw under the dash. Red wire to Add-a-circuit wire and crimp. Pull out the fuse from the slot you want to use. Plug in Add-a-circuit, plug the fuse you pulled into open slot in Add-a-circuit. Make sure to use the right fuse for each device. Add-a-circuit looks like this:



Yes, use the black "phone" cord they provided.

 

his next question is... which screw do i use for ground?

guys got any picts?

 

mhmm kkkk thnx so much.. i will go get the add-circuit now!!..

 

If you pull off the knee bolster (or Euro parcel shelf if you have that) at the top edge, just under the dash pieces on either side of the steering column, you'll find two screws that are connected to a metal frame. That's where you connect the ground wire. Buy some wire and some crimp connectors so you have enough wire to reach those screws.

 

thanks, but that was me pretending to be astromini.

im familiar with these types of installs.

 

Yeah, I know that. I've seen you around these parts. I was taking your lead and answering the question for astromini. My guess is he/she is now out buyng parts.

 

got my visor clip mounted into the ceiling liner. just to confirm, the
7500's wiring (phone cord) worked fine on my V1 without reversing
polarity.

i noticed that my ceiling is drooping a little bit in the front (not related
to the visor clip) so i wet it down with a spray bottle and proping it
upwards until it reshapes itself. will keep it proped for a month or so
until the roads are clear from salt. car's hibernating anyway.

 

astromini- burning the midnight oil? it's already morning here
in chicago. were you able to finish?

 

alright... i am lookn at the black box that came witht e V1 and the red wire has something at the end of the wire... and the add-circuit has the red wire but has a blue round sleeve... i dont know how to connect them together and the V1 came with a blue little thing that closes and opens like a mouth.... what do i need to do????

 

The blue thing that opens and closes is a wire tap (a different option than the Add-a-circuit). You won't be using that but instead will be using the Add-a-circuit. Keep it, you may want to use it some other time.

You need to cut the red wire on the V1 box and push it into the open end of the blue sleeve on the Add-a-circuit. Then get some pliers to squeeze the blue sleeve until you can pull on the wire without it coming out of the sleeve. The black wire is the ground. To make the black wire long enough to reach the ground screws I told you about, you may need an extra length of wire and one of those blue sleeves to splice the wire together.

You're almost there!

 

i can get the black wire at any other hardware store???? for the red wire to i need to shave some of the red cover of the wire coming from the black box????

 

where can i take the black box to??

 

the add a curcuit box has 2 slots empty what do i put there???
