Hey all just a quick question. Does anyone have the codes for the DC5R My lights are blinking three times when i lock it. Shouldnt it be only 2? I could just be paranoid lol!
Also my ciggie lighter doesnt work. I checked the fuses and the connections at the back and they are all fine. It stopped working after i tried to plug my PS3 in.

Thanks guys!

P.S. Sorry if this is such a dumb set of questions!

The indicators are meant to flash 3 times when the car is locked, and you should check your fuses if the cigarette lighter suddenly stopped working. The fuse for the cigarette lighter should be in the under dash fuse box, number 18 pictured below:

why not splice into the accessory wire and have a switch?

maybe use a tester to test the ciggy wire.

Hey dont have any pics of it yet but ill take some and post em up.

As for installing the PS3. Go down to Jaycar or an electrical joint and buy a converter. It plugs directly into the ciggie lighter and you can get ones with up to like 6 plugs if u really need it. But one should be fine! Cost about $60-80. Just make sure you get one that has the right voltage for your ps3 and car! Oherwise your ciggie lighter will screw itself like mine has!

Yeah xposed thanks for the idea if i cant gt my ciggie lighter to work i might jus do that! Everything is better with switches.
