I have a 400 Watt Power inverter in my car, i want to knwo how can i connected it to my contour without using the cigarette adapter so i dont have to see the wires. Do i use a Fuse Tap like i did for my tv and just find a black wire for the ground or what HELP

I hard-wired my cell phone to the cigarette lighter wire with electrical tape and power wire. I just secured the wires to the phones cigarette plug and taped it up real good. I tapped into the cigarette wires by unplugging it and removing the plastic boots on the connection. Then I secured the power wire there and slipped the boots back on.

Not a professional job, but more than sufficient.

For you, using an inverter, I'd probably leave the cigarette lighter disconnected and just hook up the inverter. That way you won't over-heat the circuit.

Good luck...

cut off the end, put the positive end on a power source (for that application i recommend a wire straight from the battery, with a fuse and a switch) and put the negative wire to a ground and your all done. mount the switch to turn it on/off
