Switched power in New Beetle Convertible Steinola 07-09-2004, 06:47 PM
Car: 2004 New Beetle Convertible, auto transmission I need to get switched power (on/off with ignition) to the center console of my NBC (the standard "Power Socket" - read: cigarette lighter - isn't switched) to power an iPod (currently < 1Amp, but probably don't want to limit myself to just this application). Is there anything in the vicinity that I might be able to tap into (lighting harness for the shifter??), or do I need to fish a wire to the fuse box? And, if the later: - what fuse would be the best to tap into? - can I get away with just running a single line for positive and tap into the grnd of something closer? Any insight would be much appreciated!
