[QUOTE="Balk, post: 5754690, member: 608699"] Hey everyone: My end goal here is to integrate a zune home docking center, and a LCD monitor into my car's dash. I've figured out the logistics of how I would assemble all of this. However I don't know how to power multiple electrical components, all needing a 12v power source. I have tried to research all of this on my own through googling and other various sites and tutorials, but I haven't really found good information about the basics of a car stereo electrical power. Below is a picture of the main power source and questions about it follows: [IMG]http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/7637/0309091819a.jpg[/IMG] What exactly is the white power dongle called? I have been unable to research it since I don't know the name of it. More importantly, what steps would I need to take to convert this plug into something that can power multiple (2 or 3) 12v electrical components? Basically power something like this: [IMG]http://www.geardiary.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/geardiary-dlo-zune-homedock-06-thumb.jpg[/IMG] I have a cigarette lighter available, however I want to power everything internally without any wires showing, so using that isn't an option for me. :cool:Thanks!
