Need 10A power source
Looking at the Porsche wiring diagrams, I see 7.5A and 15A but no 10A anywhere.
I need to find a 10A power source that is hot in run or accessory. I assume I'll just have to add a 10 A fuse somewhere.
Suggestions?

Why not use the phone prep plug in the center console? It has brown ground, yellow phone interrupt, and the other are switched and unstitched 12v. Fuse E6 is 10A I think.
pull (literally yank it out) one of your cubbies or the CD/tape storage out and search for the 4 position plug floating around back there.
maybe with a relay?

Works! 7.5 is enough!
I LOVE how every possible mod has been done to this car! Solutions everywhere! No more being a guinea pig.
Thank you fpb111!

Just be sure to carry a spare. That fuse is infamous for blowing resulting in “Help, I can’t refuel my car”. It also controls the fuel tank vent valve. So don’t load it up when you are refueling. I run a couple of gadgets from mine but not at the same time.

Sure it can. I have never had mine blow, but?? I would/am using mine with a few things hooked to it, (BTW there is a Becker mating plug with a long harness.) If mine starts blowing I will go to a relay. I have used that plug with both of my 996 and never blew that fuse. Other folks have nothing hooked to it and have problems with the vent valve fuse. YMMV

BTW how are you making out with the heat? For background info read this thread

I wil be running LED illumination lights in the cabin. 6 - 8 lights. I think it should be just fine.
As for my heat - still sucks. I am now convinced that it is the foam and the holes on the blend door are open. I have changed the heater core out myself, had the dealer do the thermostat, which was crusted up, and will do the blend door hopefully next week.

Didn't read the whole thread carefully - sorry if this is a dupe.
Use the switched phone connector in the console to drive a relay; run a new positive line from the battery terminal to the location of your new device. Be sure to add an inline fuse as close to the battery as possible to safeguard against any short circuit.

I'm actually very keyed into the subject because we make lithium ion starter batteries for Porsches so if you have these types of parasitic drain's that are most often caused by aftermarket accessories it can drain the batteries in the cars really quickly.
