Yes as long as you put a fuse in line. Personally I would run from the stereo or cigarette socket or even the ignition switch to save running wires into engine bay, But whatever you do FIT A FUSE :lol:

well If your fitting it into an SJ and the loom hasn't been mucked about with

White - Permanant live ( Interior light, clock, horn etc)
White/black - Live when the ignition key is in the assecory position (radio, lighter)
Yellow/green - Live when Ignition is on. (This is quite handy as there is a spare feed if you have a soft top as its the supply to the rear heater screen.

Hope this helps

When fitting any type of two way radio it is always better to take power direct from the battery. Make sure you have fuses in both the positive and negative wires. You can cheat and run the positve to the battery and earth to the chassis.
