What sort of power do they need? Presumably the activation switch will need to be convenient?

I wouldn't pull it from ciggy lighter feed, as that takes enough abuse, but there may be other options depending on power requirements.

Is it the black wire behind ashtray, and just put a inline fuse between. Also what amp fuse would be ok. Thanks

Fuse size will depend entirely on the current they draw, in Amps :y
Any instructions/clues on or in the box...

Does this help nominal voltage 12vdc, voltage range 8-16, max consumption <20m.

Nope, unless that last bit is <20mA

But then, if its cheap chinese shite with a poorly translated manual, you're probably on a hiding to nothing.

If there is no max current rating, need the cross section side of the power cables they supplied.

Even modern Cobra I'd expect decent instructions.

Got a link for the manual/install guide?
