Notes on Wiring
The RED accessory output wire from the LPFD15 interface is rated at 10A Max output for most aftermarket head units. It is NOT recommended to connect additional +12A switched accessories to this output source as that may cause damage to the LPFD15 module itself. If 10A output is not sufficient, a relay is needed (relay not included).
