5A is WAY too much fuse for the MPGuino, 5 amps(that's 5ampsX12volts=60 watts!) is more than enough to fry it. You want a fuse in the .1-.5A range if you want to protect the unit from surges. I'm not sure exactly what the draw of the unit is, you can check it with a multimeter set to amps, and put in line with the positive.
