Anyone got any ideas on where to pick up positve power that is always on.
Just asking cause i installed a power ariel today and need to always have a postive conection to the battery. At the moment i've got it connected to the glovebox light, but think it's not the safest and would prefer to have it somewhere else. Also, do people think i should do a write up on the install. Does anyone need it(not complete though, gonna put in height adjustment, just gotta figure out how) Cheers

Connect it straight to the battery , make sure you use the right rated ampage wire and an inline fuse to be safe ;) .
There is also a document in the technical resources somewhere (or it could be on aufalcon.com , i cant remember ) , that had the document on how to install an electric arial that you can also use at half height , this mod hooks into the ecu or diagnostics port if i can remember correctly / something like that anyway , check it out . OR ..The (+) connection to the radio allways has positve power too / well sorta / it has the 1 hr keyless radio function which enables the power to the radio without keys or ignition, which would be sufficient as you run the aerial with the radio anyway . Cheers , gl

There is a spare fuse in the interior panel if you don't mind running a wire all the way over there, bottom right if i recall correctly... I wired my automatic window ups into it

Try the good old cigarette lighter, big wire fuse easy access and is on with the ACC.
