Is that connector for the barrel reading ring for the chip in the key ?
If it is I wouldn't use that live wire .
Wouldn't want anything running of of it , just incase you get issues down the line later .

Do you really want a permenant 12v live supply?Auxillaries supply would be a better choice.Stay away from that 5v supply or you blow the ECU.
I don't want it lol I know exactly what my wires in my car do

So it just wants any switch live. I'd go for the one to the radio tbh. Wouldn't want to touch anything around the ignition barrel etc if you don't know what you're doing.
Dash off takes about 10 mins so it's easy enough to route the wire from the rpm bag of s**t.

dash is already off, easy as anything. would the lighter positive be alright then?

nah but i want to learn how to do these sort of things for future stuff. i only got this car for 400 quid manly to practice with, i know mistakes will happen but that's how you learn

Yeah lighter would be spot on. That's what I always use when I hardwire phone chargers into cars.

thats sweet then. id much rather use the lighter postive, so much easier as well. now the last wire has to go to the negative of the coil or the tach terminal. now to figure that out.

would i have to put a fuse on the power coming from the lighter?

Why? It's fused at the fusebox anyway. You could do just to be double safe but it's not with it IMO.

yeah true. Thanks for your help
