There may be situations where a hardwired installation is unsuitable, e.g., a temporary installation. This is when our 12V auxiliary power / CLA socket adapters, sold separately, can be handy.
Using the Dart3 CLA adapter does not require the assistance of an auto electrician or mechanic. One end goes into the 12V auxiliary power outlet in the vehicle's cigarette lighter port, while the other end snaps into the Dart3—no tools are involved.
Staff Tip: The Dart3's Ignition wire is not connected to the vehicle when using this adapter. The harness options provide power to the device. Only an Emulation Ignition can be used. This is when the ignition is set based on movement, which may not be as foolproof as using a hardwired ignition. In many vehicles, power to the CLA socket is turned off when the ignition is turned off.
