question 1:

i'm connecting an xbox to my car, i was told to:

"connect the white wire to accessory in center console...an accessory triggered wire anywhere (hot wire not ground)"

what color is this wire in the center console and what device is it coming from? forgive me if i'm stupid people i'm not to keen with wiring.


question 2: does anyone have instructions on installing a noise filter?


question 3: anyone find a proper ground in the trunk?


Thanks!

 

1. acc wire is green and connects to the cig outlet in center console.
2. just put it in series with what you want to protect
3. search, people have used the bolt the bottom of seatbelt connects to, or you can just use the ground already present in the trunk if your not going to be running too much juice through it. If you want to use a sub or something you should probably use a different ground though.

I suggest you stop what you are doing and take your car to a pro, or at least someone who has insurance on their work.

 

do i need a noise filter on the ground wire?

 

generally no, movement of electrons will be affected by just the noise filter on the + side. You do have all the other parts right? inverter? Is this going ot be on the NAV screen or on your own aftermarket HU or LCD?

 

it will be on the nav screen i have a dc to dc power supply in the xbox.

 

moved thread to interior electronics section- you should look at THE STICKY threads for information on grounding.
