I am wiring some high current draw devices (2x13A) and I am adding a PDM60 and using the 2 15A feed circuits to source that power. But I only want these circuits to be powered when the engine is running. Does anyone know where I can connect my Ignition Trigger wire that is at 12V only when the engine is running?
 
On the 1250, you will get a hard time finding a wire that is live only when engine is running. It used to be possible to get at trigger signal from some lightbulbs, but this is all serial data on the 1250.

A detector that detects when battery voltage exceeds ~13 V and triggers a relay may be an option.
Perhaps this will do?

Anyway, if you want a proper controller, go for the CANswitch.

It is not the most user friendly unit when it comes to setting it up, but the options are only limited by your imagination.

I've been using it for quite a while now, and it controls my garage-door opener, heated jacket and heated seat are controlled by the wonderwheel, omitting the need for an extra jacket controller, and the BMW Oem aux lights are dimmed and made to flash along with the signal lights. It does every thing that an Hex EZcan will do + so much more.
