Power for device

I managed to accomplish a couple of goals this weekend and I figured I'd share 'em with anyone who may be interested.

Last weekend, I installed a FES-AUTO Sport + device and I' did some research to see what it would take to power devices from it. Specifically, my V1 which is mounted to the left of the rear view mirror. Initially, I mounted/installed it following the How-To in this forum. The problem is, radar detectors aren't legal here and I didn't like the idea of having to reach up to the mirror to turn it off when going onto military installations and when a LEO paid too much attention to me. Reaching up to do that is a give away.

I wanted a power source that I could control without attracting attention.

The Auto Sport + does just that. So, without any further comment, here's the .pdf with a few photo's.

Enjoy,
Craig
