I am in the process of installing a gps and a dash cam in my Z3 (MY 1998). But before I make a total mess of it, I would like your expert advise of how to connect these units to a switched 12V supply.
A common recommendation seems to be the use of the X400 connector in the centre console. I have looked for this connector but it seems that it is not fitted to my car. Another solution that I have seen is to run a wire direct from the radio fuse but that seems to be a bit complicated.
Are there any other suitable places for a switched 12V supply? Preferable in the centre console or behind the glove compartment?
