    Try wiring it to the ignition loom, if you take the steering column trim there is a plug with a grey clip, that goes to the ign barrel and with a tester you should be able to find a +ve for when the key is in the ignition or ACC position.

    On some cars the cigarette lighter stays on for a few secs after the car has been turned off, plus you will need less wiring since you wont need to run wires all the way to the center console.

    Yeh I thought of that. I did that to my 180sx but I knew it was going to be permanent with the car. Plus I don't want to stuff around with the wiring there.
    I've seen people use mini add a circuits to power it by I cannot find where to buy them. As forthe cigerette lighter what power source can you get from there?
    I'm guessing you can get acc through the light and illuminum from the bulb which lights the ring around lighter. Where would I source my constant power from?

    hey guys finally installed it and looks great.... i used the cigi lighter wires for acc and illumination but could not find a constant power anywhere there so i ended up just wiring it to the ignition wires...

    ^^^ Yep that's the only problem, IMO with the marker it looks really good.

    Block8Head is doing a GB on his infamous Defrost Vent Pod on MSF

    RHD available for ms6, cx7, rx8 and Gen 1 MPS3 but no love for Gen 2's

    He will do one for Gen 2 RHD if theres enough interest.

    Block8Head has told me that if there is 10 + ppl interested he will make one.

    All he needs is the RHD vent to make the pod and has offered to wipe off an additional $5 off the group buy price.
