I’m considering having a hazard unit from 144 installed in my 67GT mainly for safety reasons. I have read that most owners simply replace the cigarette lighter and rewire into steering column loom. I have also seen factory installs for later cars while still retaining the lighter (probably for US market)
but location looks a bit tacky and requires chopping a hole in the dash.
My issue is if I replace the lighter (preferred option) I cannot hook up a GPS unit.
Are there any suggestions to address this issue? Also read somewhere if you hook up a GPS into lighter you need to install an inline fuse. Any advice would be really appreciated.
