just bought something that requires only a 5v source.
i didn't realize i could buy one w/ a wider voltage power option (+9 to +15 Vdc)
but that was my mistake.
i don't have a multimeter on me and was wondering if anyone knew off the top of there heads where i could find a 5V source inside the car.

 

If I were you, I would find a USB(5V) adapter for the cig lighter. Tap into that. Im not sure what else runs on 5V, but I know that a lot of the sensors do. But related to the dash area...Im not sure.

 

wow theres an adapter for that? u have a link of an example?

 

i did some research and found this:

Cheap and Easy 5V

might try this out...

 

High end sirius receivers (like Stiletto 100's and 2's) all use 5V DC power.

 

The sensor power supply. Sends a 5V signal to the MAF, TPS, CPS, etc.

 

i just found out about that. Jime told me. i'm soo glad cause i thought i was going to have to return my lcd screen and get an extended voltage one.

thanks though

 

Jeez now what are you doing

Since when...haha auto cr0 here

 

oh wow yeh i didn't know that. i thought this whole time you had a 5spd.
yeh man you should look into this. i'm still waiting on mine to come in though, its been nearly a week and a half. should be here anytime...

 

Yeah I most likely will. I need to fix my Ypipe and install my SFC, and then I will look into this.
