I just got an X50 and bought a hardwire kit off of ebay. I am having trouble installing it.

I've found this guide, but it's unclear as it seems to use different parts to tap into the power.

Here are some pics of what I have.





I would like to tap into the third "ignition" hole just like this, but my beige connector is male and so is the ignition switch.

How can I make this work?

 

ummmm.......Cut off the male spade on your harness and crimp a female on....

 

Radioshack sell those?

 

Yup... there are lots of different sizes, so make sure you get the right one.

i built mine using just a simple phone cord, make sure u ground the stupid thing well. At first I didn't and it gave a lot of random readings everytime I gased it hard.
