[QUOTE="Pip, post: 207080, member: 6039"] When A driver comes and ask me about it and is honest and upfront. I tell them, to get me a cigarette lighter female plug, a on/off switch. I'll wire them up correctly. When they leave the car at the end of the day, flip off the switch so there is no draw on the battery's. Haven't had a problem when done right. The problem comes when drivers start hacking wires and overloading circuits, splicing into wires cause problems. Don't be splicing into the blower motor, marker lights, cargo lights. IE: road calls, drained batteries, corroded connections, overloaded circuits. Thats where you get into trouble. There is a right way to do things and a wrong way. For every driver that knows how to wire it up correctly, there are 10 that don't. Personally, I think there is no problem with having a radio hooked up, it's a little convienence that makes the job bearable.I'm all for helping a driver, i like having a good working relationship with the drivers. I understand the policy towards radio's in package cars vary center to center. Play it safe and save yourself a possible unwanted problem by checking with the automotive department first. [/QUOTE]
