For all you guys with Invision Headrest Monitors

Did you guys tap into the front Cig socket or the rear? I couldn't find the live wire for the rear so I just used the Cig adapter plug in the meantime. But does anyone know which wires I should be using to get switched power? Any pics would help.

TIA!

I already asked lawrence and he said to come ask here or go to a stereo shop and ask them to do it. lol. I might as well just pull out the console and do it myself and run it to the front cig adapter.

Do a search for the Invision setup and PM some guys who have it.

Yeah he has an '02 X5 and the front most cigarette lighter 12v power is actually a cold / switched power. You want to use the T-tap wire and splice into that power lead into the cigarette lighter. THere is our recommended power install. If you are uncomfortable with doing that portion of the install yourself I always recommend taking it to a dealer or a stereo location, as they will know what to do and have it completed within minutes!
