So I got a multi 12v adapter similar to this
http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/p ... :c|adp:1o2
and wanted to wire it into the fusebox and have it sit in the glovebox.
So I have used one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-Add-A-Circu ... 27bf1644ed
and wired in the live connection but was just wondering where the best place for the negative connection would be.
I have currently connected it to one of the screws holding the glovebox in which connects to the metal cage that holds in the fusebox, shown below

It seems to work fine but was just wondering if there was any problem with connecting here or if anyone had suggestions of somewhere else to connect the negative wire.

Thanks

Why?

Have a look around on the body, there are often grounding points, you could connect into those, but If it's working I wouldn't bother !

To provide additional accessory points I would suggest

Yea so i can charge more than one thing at a time, like my phone and the misses phone and mp3. For a total cost of £10 not exactly expensive [emoji106]

But you can buy a multipoint charger that plugs straight into the lighter socket - simples?

That would look shite. All tucked away in the glove box.

There's not that much room in the glove-box .... only just enough space for a pair of .. [ahum] gloves!

There's room by the ashtray then?

Yes, it opens, and then there is loads of space - i.e. the cockpit!

I plan on doing this, how did you pick the 12v fuse to use? Is it switched or always live? How hard was it taking the glovebox out, etc. etc. :p.

I basically want to copy you but want more information/pics before I man up enough to do it :p.
