kaufyandcream Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Does anyone know which wire runs to the cigarette outlet on a 2001 s40? I was planning on hooking up another cigarette outlet to it in order to hook up my satellite radio. Or if anyone has Sirius or XM I’m open to any ideas for getting power.

prasamin Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 why not buy one of these. i use it for my sirius radio and gps.OR!!! just get to the back of the cig lighter, and hardwire your XM to the power of the cig lighter....it's an ACC power source in your car, i believe, so your radio would only get power with the key in posII or on, and not get any power with the key out or in posI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did it on my company car a while back, let me see if I can find a pic.here's the post: http://www.fordfusion.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=110bad pic, but you can see the power line from the cig adapter minus the cig lighter end. Put a mini-fuse holder in line with a 2amp fuse I think from radioshack. Then stuck the power line in the accesory fuse so the sirius would turn on and off with the radio. Other wire from the cig adapter is black with a round terminal grounded to a handy screw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaufyandcream Posted January 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 unfortunately they havn't made a blitzsafe device for the 2001 s40 yet and by the time they do i will probably be owning hopefully an rx-8 so for the time being im pretty happy with the sound quality from the tape deck eventhough its not the best possible sound quality.
