Its 5v from memory, to in reality you will have to wire it as now, but hiding it behind dash, and fitting a ciggy lighter behind dash as well

However, I would strongly recommend AGAINST permenently wiring portable satnavs, as its too much for a scotebag to resist...

If you are going to hardwire it... Make sure you hide all the wiring :y :y

I did it in a previous car for my Ipaq Phone and GPS receiver... The wires popped up by the windscreen and A pillar and were virtually invisible :y :y

Bought a wired twin socket, cut off the plug and connected to the back of the socket permanently ;) ;)

Now that's excellent - very neat and tidy. :y
I'd finish it off by hard-wiring it so there's no fag lighter plug. 8-)
