Bought a new tom tom and wanted to wire it up (like the earlier snooper post)
I got the cig lighter connection and I thought I could cut the end off and use the bare wires to connect it into the fuse box. but..........
The cig connector cable says "Input 12v and Output 5v"- does this mean my idea cannot be done as by putting it into a 12v supply in the fuse box may damage the tom tom unit????
please help

EDITED: Amended title.
