For the second one - inside the car - I would get a Piggy Back fuse and run a cable from a switched live connection in the fusebox behind the glovebox.

I wouldn't try connecting your tracker to the outside air temperature sensor wiring, this is fed from the ac ECU and you may well upset the ECU.

Powerful posted some useful videos here that may help with taking pieces out of the dash & running cables. |

@cam-tech-craig yes, but the courtesy mirror is a high point to hook from

Why do you want a tracker to have a switched live, doesn't it need to be live all the time, mines got a battery backup but I'd still want it live all the time in case it's a while before you notice the car has been nicked...and personally I'd put it inside the car where it will have a kinder life and not be exposed to the elements....

@haylands after contact not to drain the battery but if the drain is minimal, then I'd be happy to put it on an always live wire.

after inspecting the characteristics, I guess you're right in saying it should be in a dry place.

Inside the car should be no worse than in the engine bay - it's still surrounded by metal for a GPS signal....
