Why not just use the power supply that came with it? The power cable has USB connectors at each end; I want to power it directly off the fuse panel. Attached thumbnail(s) |

Ok, then get a USB adapter that normally plugs into the cigarette lighter and simply connect 12V from the fuse panel to the center contact and ground to the side contacts on that adapter. That way, you can simply use the usb cable that came with your HUD and everything fits with no other modifications needed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) |

That should work.
And if you're running this off the fuse panel, make sure you're piggy-backing off a switched terminal so the power to your HUD is turned off when the key is off. Otherwise, that thing will drain your battery in a hurry ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |

or one of these:
