CIC, Controller, Screen & Combox

jammy78 · 03-14-2015, 08:10 PM

Hi,

I'm retrofitting a CIC & combox into my car without navigation or bluetooth.

Is it safe to tap into the power wires going into the radio for the CIC, screen, controller & combox?

Cheers

Yes. Make your connections solid by soldering.

You will have a few electrical errors thrown.

Not worried about the errors, just don't want to overload one live wire as it'll be powering 4 parts.... I think it'll be ok, as they are only low powered modules?

Yup. Should be fine. I want to check my errors to see if there are any power draw issues.
