After weeks of turmoil, I've finally been successfully programming (with great ease) my 996XT, using FreeScan for those of you who got involved in my "software wars".
I'm now planning installation of the 996XT and the RH-96 remote head. I'd like to hardwire them both to switched power in the fuse panel, though I plan on installing a an in-line switch in the concealed base unit so it's not running whenever my vehicle is - only when I want to use it (I presume this will add some life to it).
I have a late model Volkswagon. My really dumb electronics question is this: which fuse slots should I hardwire it into? I have many open slots of 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 amps that are open. I have a map of amps and which ones are switched and which ones aren't, but don't want to blow out my units connecting to the wrong slot.
So, which slot for:
- the 996XT
- the RH-96 remote head
I'll confess I didn't spend hours pouring over power supply tech specs before asking this question, but my knowledge is limited anyway so I figured I'd just ask.
Many thanks in advance.
