ACC wire help for my carputer
Does anybody know which of these wires is the ACC wire, if there is one in this stack? my carputer is gonna be in the rear glove box and i want to know what the best way of running the acc wire back there.
Also another question, is it ok to splice the ground wire with the one that is connected to the second cigarette lighter plug? thanks.

Sorry, I have no idea which wire you need.
I tapped mine using ad-a-circuit from kick panel fuse box.
and running it along with 12v from battery.

i get my positive accessory from the mid console power outlet and I get my ground from the grounding location next to the bose amp behind the seats. I draw main power from the bose amp positive connection too, but I have a power supply that looks for a signal on the acc line and uses the main automatically.

don't splice a wire for a ground.. especially to something like a computer psu.
do it the right way and ground it somewhere on the chassis.
for my carpc I grounded to the strut tower in the trunk and ran the accessory switched line from the front cigarette lighter.. i don't suggest you splice into the harness in your first pic.

I can get one of what it looks like behind the seats with my positive amp tap and where I ran ground to, but the accessory plug has been buttoned up for a while now and I'm in no hurry to pull my console again any time soon.
May I also recommend a multimeter. The power adapter is on a plug and you can very easily measure positive/negative voltage with ACC on. A safe bet regardless (this is some what from memory when I did it myself) a black wire is not going to get you a positive signal.
