12v access under the hood? anybody knows where?
I am looking to install a laser jammer in an 08 CLS550 .. but I can't find a +12v in the engine compartment.
Any suggestions?

Thanks!

YEah .. in WA state is legal.
The battery is in the trunk. I check all the under hood... no trace of any 12v exposed.
Any suggestions? Nobody installed anything under the hood that needed 12V?

Actually I live in Seattle, and no they're not legal in WA. I'm just sayin'... stay in a crowd.

Don't know about the CLS but usually there's a fuse/breaker box under the hood somewhere.

Actually it is legal in WA. It has been for couple of years.
Yes, I found the fuse box. It is ... in a box which I thought it is for steering fluid. Now I have to figure where to take a wire out.
