Additional Cig Socket under Passanger Footwell
Hey Guys,
Need some help. I am wanting to add another cig socket in the passenger footwell. I ordered this http://www.amazon.com/Motorcycle-Cig...otorcycle+12+v I am just having a hard time wrapping my head around this. It came with no instructions. But if I assume that the black wire is the ground and the red wire (that has a fuse built in) is the power and I can just use an Add-a-circut and tap into the fuse box (similar to the way I had my radar detector hard wired). can any one help me out with this!! Thanks in Advance.

Your right about red is power black is ground. You can run it off of a mini fuse tap. Use the existing cig lighter fuse.
I have had my valentine one radar for years on e9x platform off of a fuse tap with no problems. You should be all good. It's very simple

I don't know what you're planning to do w/the extra adapter, but you can move the adapter from the ashtray and stick it over there. You can get the sunglasses holder tray to replace your ashtray altogether so you won't have a hole, and you'll pretty much double your storage space out of that compartment.

Success! No more coins falling in the console and sunglasses fit. If you want part numbers let me know. Ended up using the cig lighter from the OP instead of the BMW one. Use an add a circuit into the home link fuse. Had to sand down the joke a bit to get it to fit. But works like a charm. Enjoy. Btw the one from the original cig will not reach the hole in the footwell.

^ I did know that but wanted it to be more sizeable to get my full framed sunglasses into. The one with the lid limits the size of the glasses that can go in.
