Power Tap-in Loom + USB adapter KIT for Overhead Console
Ignition Feed
for Land Rover Discovery 3/4
This listing is for a plug and play power tap-in loom plus USB adapter for the Land Rover Discovery 3 & 4.
This kit will give you a female USB-A (5v) port with ignition live connection in the roof-space area above the overhead console which can be used to install a dashcam.
This custom made tap-in loom simply plugs into the front overhead console and gives you an ignition positive and negative which is is pre-soldered to a USB port adapter and gives you a high power (3amp) female 'USB-A' port (5V) to plug a dashcam into.
The beauty of this is there is absolutely no alteration/cutting/splicing needed to your vehicles wiring.
This loom turns on from the ignition live and not the battery live. It will only power on when the ignition is on.
This kit is ideal to wire in a dash-cam as it puts power to where you'll mount the camera without having to route any long wires round the screen (plus you'd still need to find somewhere to take power from).
All you need to do is feed the wire through the headlining at the top of the windscreen into the roof space - we found a flexi ruler ideal for this!
A hard-wired solution is much better than using a cigarette lighter power loom which are just unsightly and also runs the risk of having it inadvertently unplugged.
This could also be used to supply power to a tracker device which would be neatly hidden away in the roofspace.
We also sell the tap-in loom and USB adapter separately - please see our other listings to purchase these on their own.
NOTE - Maximum power output is 15w (3 Amps at 5 Volts) so make sure your USB device is not rated above 15W / 3 Amps.
This is not a genuine Land Rover item.
Fitting details
- Disconnect your battery -ve lead (in the boot) before fitting the loom to the vehicle - this makes it less likely for power surges that could damage car circuits when plugging / unplugging the overhead console.
- The ignition live feed comes from the body control module - if this is overloaded the circuit is isolated and can be reset with an ignition cycle (turn the car on and off again)
- If you have any issues with your car that needs investigation by a Land Rover dealer it is best to disconnect this loom so the vehicle is returned to its original configuration.
- On some vehicles we have had reports of issues with DAB reception and also interference with the auto wiper function but these are not common.
