I want to tidy things up in my work van.

To many wires going into adators and 12v cigarette lighters.

I use a Garmin Satnav, plus a dash cam .

Can I cut into the power cable supplying the satnav and splice the power lead for the dash cam into it.

Will the Garmin fuse blow with the extra amps or do they have a transformer built into the charger.
