I've been trying to search on this, but can't find any posts. Just bought a Pioneer portable GPS. It comes with a cigarette lighter adapter at one end. What I would like to do is somehow tap into a power source that will turn on only when the car is running (radio would probably be the best).
Could someone please help point me to a previous post, or tell me what's the best way to do this? Thank you in advance.
