307 12V supply question

Thanks to all who replied to my question re. the 307 handbook, I now have another query if anyone can help.

I want to install my amateur radio transceiver, but I need a 12V supply capable of supplying at least 5A. In previous cars, I've always been able to find a route directly back to the battery, or (less preferable as it is prone to pick up interference) to the back of the cigarette lighter socket. On the 307 however, I can't see how to do either.

Does anyone have any suggestions..? The car is still under the manufacturer's warranty so I don't want to bodge too much ;-)

In news: snipped-for-privacy@orbsrealm.com, Chris typed, for some strange, unexplained reason: : Well i fitted one into my pug 405 and pick up a live from the radio : feed and it works very very well.its just the speaker i had problems : with had to fit a small one beside the panel just under the steering : wheel. well good luck.

Sorry you fitted one what..? A TX capable of 50W output..? I doubt the broadcast radio feed is capable of supplying 5-6A, although I could be wrong. I enquired at my local Peugeot dealer and they said yes they could run me a feed directly back to the battery, but they wanted an hour to an hour and a half labour at £80 an hour..! Gulp..!

Looking more closely at the handbook, some variants of my car have a 12V lighter type socket in the boot space, but mine doesn't. I wonder if the wiring loom is there though..? Anyone got any ideas..?

I think Chris has CB so he is probably referring to that.
