hey guyz, im on my last bit to do in the cab and Im kinda stuck! I got to conenct all the buttons to the i-pac, In Craig's tutorial he says I need 22 Gauge wire, Ive been all around my town and cant find anything like that. been to hardware stores, electrical stores, computer stores and nothing no luck (people didnt even know what I was talking about) Im no specialist at wires but will any wire do? All ive found is Bell wire, its double and I could split it (just like speaker wire). is that good enough? or will I have to search or buy of the internet some if this gauge wire? ??? please help thanks in advance! |

Most use something in the range of 18 - 22 guage. Stranded is probably preferred rather than solid core but my first CP I just used what I first came across. It can be found at Radio Shack, Fry's Electronics, Home Depot, Lowes, Ace Hardware, and a variety of electric and other hardware supply locations. Where do you live? |

UK, will the bell wire work? bell wire is nearly exactly the same as speaker wire |

If its in the general size you are looking for I'm sure it will be fine. You are probably going to want to use quick disconnects to attach to buttons unless you just plan to solder. One option in the UK would be the wiring kit from Ultimarc. It includes some wire, disconnects, and a crimper. http://www.ultimarc.com These items are readily available in most hardware and electrical supply stores in the US. |

If you are in the UK you could try B&Q. I ran out so I went there and picked up some 6-core alarm wire. Think it was only about |
