im trying to wire the red wire from the adapter to the cigarette lighter so my new stereo will work as i have a CD30 stereo. could someone send me a link to the type of fuse i need to buy for this and any other bits i'll need? :) I have so far the adapter, a crimper, a wire cutter and a few butt connecters(i think thats what they're called).

Cheers

Hi there, don't know if this is any help but fuse 26 on my Corsa, appears to be the fuse for the cigarette lighter, which is 20 amp, so how much current does your sound system use at most, if you know what it all uses, double it and that's the fuse you need...if that comes out at 20amp your away, if it's less then put an inline fuse in of the appropriate value, if its more you cant power it from there....Fred in Essex.

Red wire from the aftermarket iso lead goes to the ciggie socket. The aftermarket iso lead connects to the aftermarket headunit leads.
Love to know what the hell o.p is trying to do :lol:
