Boost Gauge Power Line Goes To Where?

[WAN73D]

hey kids

just bought a pricol boost gauge (looks sweet) and have mounted it. Will do vaccum line ok later.

Prob i'm having is that most guys on this forum say to tap the red power line into that of the cigarette lighter. THing is my cig lighter has never worked and i just tried to tap in then and got no result.

So others have been saying go to your parker lights. Can anyone tell me EXACTLY how to get to this and what line it is. Cos i want the light on only when i turn on lights.

its an r32 so i dont think i have that light dimmer thing that some other people tap into.

and yes i have searched (this is how i know which places people tap into) but there's no exact description of how to do it.

once again help is awesome and appreciated.

Grab a multimeter and probe the yellow/red wires (with car off then on) coming out the back of your stereo. One will be an accessory (same as the cigarette lighter) just splice off that. Also some newer stereo's have auto-dim wires set up and if (like mine) your boost gauge supports that you can run the other wires, spliced off these

so is this accessorie line at the back of the stereo a line that will make my gauge illuminate when the parkers and headlights are on. or will the gauge light be constantly on if i use this source?

thanks for the reply
