Digital volt meter. Fits in OEM switch location!

[Balleristic31]

Ok update that concerns me with the defroster wire use: just went to see what would happen if I switched the defroster on, and the voltmeter died and won't turn back on :( still have to diagnose but id steer clear of these wires for now

Edit: fixed the issue by moving the voltmeters ground to the brown smaller ground wire on the defroster. Back to perfect again. I guess the big black ground wasn't a good spot. Either way just avoid it

what are you guys measuring?

[Balleristic31]

I connected my switched power and measure wire to the green/blue + on the defroster switch and the ground to the black ground wire going to the switch as well.

Hope that helps someone!

I powered it from the radio wiring, these were close and labeled lol. Doesn't really matter where you get power from, as Balleristic31 posted the defroster switch is another close option. The leads are super short, I recommend extending them to ease the install.

meter wiring/BMW (non OEM radio), factory wiring
switched / red if switched from radio, gray with red stripe from OEM wiring?
measure yellow if constant from radio, grey with orange stripe from OEM wiring?
ground / black or make your own, brown

test fit before gluing!!!

Thanks - I will attempt it.

Yeah I have a few extra. I'll be ordering more soon as well. Yes they are easy to install! Just gotta tap into 2 or 3 wires depending on where you decide to get the power/signal from.

Is there still extras and are they easy to install?
