Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Power wire for electric seats for ICE use

Thanks for all your help. I moved the feed to the centre arm rest and it's absolutely fine. Also a lot easier to conceal AV cable between the two headrests etc. I also installed some Off/On switches.

could blow the motor fuses like another member has advised why not use the rear ciggy lighter or use if your car doesnt have rear heated seats there are 12v feeds in the armrest for rear seat heaters they maybe usefull

Where are the 12v feeds in the armrest?

Can I just wire up to the wire that goes to the 12v ciggie lighter then? (I have two headrests so the 12v lighter would have to supply two units - is that OK) The kit has a seperate fuse box for each headrest with it so I guess it won't fuse anything. It can't be drawing very many amps as the fuse is very low rating.

I actually did this and, although the headrests work fine, I seem to have done something else as the engine now has a very rough idle.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Power wire for electric seats for ICE use

Hi,

I've bought some headrest dvd players to fit my Omega C. I'd like to use the power wire for the electric seats and some how split that off to power the headrests. Is that possible and, if so, which wire is it. These are the powered seats NOT memory. They have two clips, one presumably for the side airbags and one for the seat motors but I can't determine which is the power wire. ANy help?

Omega General Help / Engine lumpy after install of stereo gear

I've just installed some headrest DVD players in my Omega 2.5i 2000MY. Now the engine appears really sluggish and nearly conks out when stopping at traffic lights etc. It "feels" like it's being starved of petrol. I attached the headrests to the 12v supply to the front seat motors and the ground to the car body and removed the fuse to this component whilst I did this. Could I have inadvertently have tripped something? I've checked all fuses and they're all intact. Relays? What electrically could have caused this in the engine - I did not even have the bonnet open whilst doing this so can't have knocked anything.
