what do you mean

its for the V1 and a 2k1 max but you should get the idea

Do you mean google with maxima.org domain search?

For passport, you're supposed to cut the cig lighter and hardwire, right? My V1 in all 3 of my Maxima tap the cig lighter with an in-line fuse. Just run the wire from the headliner, to pillar, under dash and to cig lighter. Be sure to secure the wire in the pillar with tape or ziptie, or it might rattle around.

Are you able to run other things off the cig lighter without blowing a fuse? I've been thinking maybe I should use a relay when I hardwire mine.

i charge my phone every once in a while and i have my radar detector hard wired and i've had no problems

some one upgraded the cig fuse to 15 and is running a dvd screen, and ps2 off of it forgot who.
