I need a constant power source under the dash. I'm hooking a relay to power my DVD system. The switched relay is .5A and the DVD is 1.5A. I don't want switched so I can keep the DVD on like the radio in the Accy mode.

Depending on where you are, cigarette lighter wires or ignition wires are probably the easiest. Make sure you add a fuse.

Jeli, just use the C-8 Connector in the MBEC. If you want the plug with leads on it that fits in the C-8 connector rockauto.com has them delivered for about 25 bucks IIRC (if you're interested in it, let me know, I can look up the part number). Check out page 48 of 308 of this publication:

Good luck,
