i belive its the yellow one on the din plug ?????

why do you need one

My car got broken into and they burned all the headunit wiring(just by yanking it out), i have the speaker block just need to re wire an earth, live and ignition to power my unit

So were else can i get one from as i dont have a din plug or wiring loom cos i have to create one lol

you will just need to goo back as far as you can to the wires and create one from there

black is earth
yellow is ignition live
red is permanant live

i think???

There are a few ignition lives near there like the fan feeds

dont the fan lives only work when the engine is actually running???

so wouldnt be usefull for the radio as you would have to have the engine running to have the radio on

ah your right been driving other cars to much recently.

i would do as said above and work back the original loom and repair it

can use the positive and negative from cig lighter, and run a wire to the battey for the permanant (ie to keep your settings and stations)

and make sure you add a fuse between the permanant if you do this as ign live will be covered by the cig lighter.

isnt the cig lighter permanently on, i can use it without the ignition being on

12th June 2006, 14:13

yer cig lighter is perm on

i have a funky alarm l.e.d fitted to mine on a switch

wasnt on mine, must of changed it later on, if that fails then take it from the headlight leveling switch.

even if you wire both to permanent lives then the head unit will ahev an off switch or will switch off when you remove the face plate
