First one. Sunroof fuse is a nice power source for me; since I don't have a sunroof, I can draw like 5 amps from those wires and not worry too much.

Yeah, I tapped my sunroof fuse for the remote turn on lead to my CarPC, but got a strange by-product from it.

Now I can't lock my doors via the keyfobs until the PC is completely shut down. (7-10 seconds)

So, if anyone in Maine sees an idiot standing next to his car pressing the button on his remote repeatedly, you now know why.

Haha, it's tough, I'm always busy. Let me know when they are and I'll do what I can.
