could someone explain what wire is the XLR to tap into under the drivers seat. What colour and which connector. I have looked under the seat but there are a lot of wires and I dont want to mess things up, specially with air bags and things.I have been using the cig lighter for years but it is a bit hit and miss sometimes and the acc fuse has blown a few times.would be nice to hard wire it.

You can also go to accessory panel and tap off of that but it will be a little more difficult. Yeah Jeff as crazy as your headrest was, I only expect your front cig lighter to be hot. You have one Frank-N-Stein of a vehicle. LOL!

BTW how was Hawaii?

Grrr! First the headrests, and now the cig adapter. I might as well as just sell this car! Everything else was easy! Looks like the ignition tap it is, am I going to toss out any codes going that route?

Hawaii was awesome! I did not want to leave there and come back to the coldness of Portland.

Don't think you will throw codes at all. But you can also go to the accessory panel (Fuse box) but it's a lot harder to get to. Honestly I would hold up a steak knife to the guy's throat and offer him his favorite 12-pack and see where he goes from there. $60 bucks to tap the ignition is pricey! But it should not throw a code. If you need to talk to my master installer I can make that happen as well. He has done this in your E53 type several times in the past. He will be here after 11:30 PST. Shoot me a call. We shall get-r-done! LOL!

I AM THE LAW!

Glad you are home safely!
