hooked uo my sound the other day..works great thanks to xcalibr..thought i would change my ACC today currently its connected to the cig lighter..so i took out the multi meter and tested out the fuse BMW06 said..and i get 12V while the car is turned off..so i tested all the 7.5A fuses..same thing..read the fuse card.tried the radio fuse..same thing..so if anyone know exactly what fuse is an ACC please let me know..maybe i tried the wrong fuse..but i'm gettin 12V on the both sides of the fuse..which means my module is still getting power..anyone find a ACC yet?

Did u check it after car went to sleep mode ?
I may be wrong, but my theory is that -- it will die after car goes to sleep. In any case, you still get what you want... a constant power source in ACCESSORY mode. Quote:

Major add-a-circuit fuse tap shortage at the Autozone in Fremont tho --major SUCKAGE, so we had to make do with some regular fuse taps from Kragen --not as clean/easy, but just as effective. Despite this, the install a second time around with some helping hands went much quicker. Let's see, we got started at about 6:45 and got interrupted at about 8:30 cuz we had to get another part. Got back at like 9:20 and finished by 10, so total time just under 2.5 hours for module wiring, audio, and dvd player installation. Fun times Ben and Elaine, my fellow UCD alums! Hahah, enjoy.

good point..forgot about the car going into sleep mode..i'll give it a shot
2morro..where are you guys getting your mini fuse taps? i got my fuse tap for the constant from radio shack..and that worked..but to big for the mini to use for Fuse #5..i tried 2 kragen stores and they thought i came from outer space asking for fuse taps..i looked in the fuse and electrical system..and didnt see them..

Have to give Dylan, aka. xcalibr , big big to his kindness and his expertise on helping me to install the unit; it probably would take DAYS for me and Ben to figure all these out. couldn't done it without Mr. Audio Expert, (new name for xcalibr :rocks: ). I was watching a music video dvd on my way home, big on my face the whole trip. It definately worths the money. One question thou. When we were driving home, we found that while using the dvd, somewhere from the engine bay created a "weeeee-ing" type of sound. The sound pitch would go up and down constantly with the engine speed (higher RPM, higher pitches, lower RPM, lower pitches). Alternatively, if I switched back to normal i-drive mode, the weird sound disappeared. I am not sure if I stated it clearly, hahha. Anyone know what might be the cause of the weeee-ing sound?? Dylan, thank you again for your help. Have fun in Taiwan.

haha.. the weee-ing sound is probably caused by some of teh power wires coming too close to or overlapping with the audio wires... sorry, I guess I was not very careful tucking away the wires... try opening the panel back up and moving the wires around so that they don't come near each other. the other way to do it if the problem doesn't go away after you move it all around is to wire a power signal noise cancellation thing in-line with the power (I actually have an extra one of these if you need it). Also, another possibility is the white audio cable I used on your car. I think it was slightly different from the one I used in my car. The one in my car was shielded, but the one in your car was not. But i didn't run that wire anywhere near any power, so hopefully that is not a big deal. Just try moving around the wires first and drive around to see if it gets the sound. If all this fails, there is a possibility that something (both module and dvd I guess because they use common ground) is improperly grounded --which I hope not because then it's a pain to wire another ground. Let me know how it goes!

I used an empty fuse slot for the +12V power for both the dvd player and the Nav2go module.

I just got my backup cam... snuck off of work to go home and grab it --installed it in about 10 minutes because I never put the trunk back together, and I had everything prewired. I took some pix which I'll post up later tonight, and add to the DIY part 4.
