power source Yes I misspelled it!

I relocated mine to my center console armrest, just because of my ipod. I have the ipod cable in there too so I figured why not? I'll have pics later if you guys are interested.

 

whats a power spurce?

Read my post again smart ***, it was a typo.

 

Your 12v cigarette lighter plug, right? I would like to see pics. I might do the same.

Well in the 96-00 Civic it is only a power source, not a cigarette lighter. I'll get pics tomorrow.

 

Late, but here are the pics! Now this is the perfect spot for my ipod!

 

That looks cool. did you completely relocate it or did you just link to it?
If I did it I would have linked to it so I had more than one outlet.

 

That's a great idea. I request a write-up for the power source relocate and hooking up the I-pod cord to the radio.

 

I wired in a DC outlet in my benz because the OEM one's made for lighting cigarettes (doesn't work to well for DC appliances) - though mine was just hanging out of the hole I drilled....wasn't nice 'n neat like yours. It was a $4.99 hack job w/ parts from radioshack :-P.

I relocated it with a new one, the stock one is still in place but I do not have it spliced for use, I didn't want to draw too much power maybe causing a short or something.

I will have to do that, the ipod cord hooks up to the stock stereo using this $60 gadget I got from Circuit City.

Luckily I had the right size drill bit (thanks to my pops who had it) and it was a perfect bit for the job!

Thanks!!

 

I read this post this morning so I went to the junk yard and got an outlet and hooked it all up. I spliced it though so I could still use the stock outlet. Thanks!

Well I am glad that I could inspire someone to do something like this. Did you also relocate it to your armrest?

 

Yeah, I moved it to the same spot. I noticed when I was cutting the hole, the underside of that pocket had a circle already etched in the plastic. So I just cut along that and it was a perfect fit. And like I said, I just spliced it in to the stock wires so I could keep my original source.

Yeah, I noticed that too!! Good deal man, glad it worked out for you.
