Default 2IS Volt Gauge


I always like knowing what my voltage is. I finally had some time to wire it. Only had it installed for about a year.

These are pretty popular in the motorcycle community where charging systems rely on induction and have limited output, are easily overloaded etc.


One sample; put in Toyota USB digital voltmeter.

Another user (kensteele) did a post and DIY for installing a USB adapter about three years ago, and someone else later in that same thread did one with a voltage display. See here: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...ower-port.html

Probably one of the easiest mods I’ve done.

The fuse box under the drivers side had 5 open fuse holes. 4 ACC, 1 constant. I used a add a fuse ,only put a fuse on the wire side. Installed on ACC. I didn’t want to send power to a circuit that doesn’t need power.

Bussman makes a piggy back fuse that works great. Used one on my bike. A good product.

Max is 10A so be careful where you double the load from.
