What do you do for power? Hook it into the fuse panel somewhere?

You hook it up to the cig. lighter. The electrical work was a little bit of a pain in the a... About a 45 min total install time.

Default This is how I did mine..

I have the DTM ****, but the wiring is more than likely the same...

Two wires.. One Negative, other is a 5v Positive.

Here is the connector that I used. Cigarette lighter connector under the ebrake.

Here is how I connected it. I used two wiretaps.

I wanted my install to be as clean as possible. I used some heatshrink tubing for the wires from the **** to the connectors. Trimmed the wiretap wires, etc.

Here is the final result:

I have a bunch of pictures I took from the install. I am tempted to do a step by step faq on the install of my ****. Let me know if you want more pics.

Default From DTM... :)

Actually, I got mine from an AW person (thanks again Selim) cause he didnt want his after he got it. So I bought it from him.
I was going to purchase the one from their site, but I lucked out. Its not to bad of a deal, only $129..

Here is the link...<ul><li><a href="http://www.dtmautohaus.com/html/ainteriors.html">DTM AutoHaus Audi Interior Page</a></li></ul>
