Brent,
Not sure what you are asking with the reference to 12 and 4.2 volts. Let's not forget that OI is powered from 12 volts through the tether cable. But before attempting anything like this, a prudent thing would be to call IFI tech support for help. In any wiring to multiple devices, steering diodes would be a nice addition to fused lined lines for each device.
