Wiring sound systems!

The "IGN" wire will need to be connected to a 12v feed that only shows 12v when the ignition key is either a "ON" or "ACC" and nothing with the ignition "OFF".

The 12v power feed needs to draw constant 12v power at all times, basically to hold the set station memory and the clock/time.

If you can find a multimeter all good but you can get away with a test light.

Cig lighter power feed is a good one to use (usually a wire that recieves power to it with the ignition switch in either on or accesories, and off with the ignition switch off).

You can usually find a couple of spots to draw your power sources at the back of the fuse box. Just be careful to make sure that when you remove the two screws holding the fuse box in that you makes sure that you don't let anything touch the live connectors at the back of the fuse box. Be aware that to check some circuits those two screws may need to be in situ as there may be an earth attached to one of them.

Okay, its gonna be a little harder than connecting it to the cigarette lighter, mine isn't connected up and I'm not sure which wires connect to it :/ I'll go and have a look at my wiring diagrams and then have a look under the dash..

So the 12Volt essentially has to be connected to the battery at all times then? Where would you suggest connecting that to? Straight to the battery?

I'll have to duck to supercrap on Tuesday and grab a multimeter and have a better look at what I'm connecting stuff to

Sorry for all the questions, I just want to be 100% sure I'm doing it right and leave no chance of blowing something up.. haha
