Important Note on Accessory Output
The RED accessory output wire from the LVW10 interface is rated at 10A Max output for most aftermarket head units. Scosche Industries Inc. does NOT recommend connecting additional +12A switched accessories to this output source as that may cause damage to the LVW10 module itself. If 10A output is not sufficient, then a relay is needed (relay not included).
