I tried looking up what wire to tap into for the 'remote' of an amp i'm installing. The results were confusing as people were saying to use a powered fuse.
So my question is can I tap into the Black / Pink stripe wire in the back of the stereo? The wiring diagram says its a "+12 volt ignition wire".
Also, I'm using a line output converter and tapping into the rear speakers for the signal. Would you guys recommend me doing it from the dash or from the trunk?
I ended up tapping into the "Electrochromatic mirror" circuit that comes out of the SJB. Ran it along the drivers side under the trim plates and into the trunk
Use the +12V line for the power antenna (which I think is the red/pink wire). When the radio is on, the power antenna gets +12V signal, which causes it to go up. When you turn off the radio, it goes back to 0V, which causes the antenna to retract.
The power antenna has +12V for power (which is a different color wire).
I think there's also remote power in the CD player harness.
There's also an "audio on" line in the harness (I've seen it referred to as ASYSON in some diagrams). It's pin 2 in the C388b connector going into the RCU. It's light green/black (LG/BK).
