    I have a Ledco dock with the break out box. I would like to mount this in my work truck. The cord that came with it does not seem like the correct.

    Does the break out box act as a power supply?

    Can I run 12V to the POWER plug in the lower right hand corner?

    Where can I get a plug for this?

    If I do get a plug, what is the polarity?

    The Ledco dock has a MAIN HARNESS that plugs into this box.

    Contact Ledco, I have found them to be very responsive to customer questions.

    Already ate it! :D
    That's from a 5/8 liquid line filter drier that I cut open from a refrigeration system we repaired. I know my bench is a mess. :eek:

    I need a driver for the box? I figured it will serve as a power supply and usb ports so I can dock the toughbook and have my GPS and wireless coming from the box since only one port will be available when docked.
