I was wondering if anyone knows a way that I could hard wire my S100 dock to my car. I would like to keep the cig nighter piece attached in the event that I need to use it in anohter car. Is this possible?
I realize the newer units run on 5v, but what would happen if you cut off the cigarette lighter and hardwired it directly to the fusebox?
Would it mess up the unit ?
I just bought a Starmate 5 and was wondering the same thing since it runs on 5v.
My old sportster i just hacked off the cig lighter and put it right to the fusebox and grounded the black wire.

I went to RadShack and got a cig socket with a pigtail. Just patch it in behind the dash wire tie it up and save a few bucks
