Rep Power: 0 AC Power to device in trunk
I need to hook up a device in the trunk of my 06 Civic. I would prefer to hook it up to a wire that only powered on when the car was on.
If it had a power outlet in the trunk, that would be perfect and I would wire it into that. Unfortunately, it doesn't have one.
Any ideas of any wiring in the trunk that I could hook into?
Thanks

how many watts do u need to draw? u can wire in an inverter to the trunk but if it's significant, say more than 150W, then u might need to run a wire from the battery under the hood. if u want it on w/ the car hook up a relay to the contacts and the coil to the ignition.
