knubs Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 pretty soon i want to add in a switch that will turn on my head unit without having the keys in the ignition. i need some help figuring out how to wire it. what is needed to turn the head unit on? is there one wire that just needs power to turn it on or is it more complex than that?

knubs Posted March 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 i don't plan to go crazy with the car off. i mostly just want some casual volume music while i'm camping or just simply hanging out somewhere. also the biggest appeal of the switch to me is that it will be my anti DUI switch. the cops around here don't like me and keep trying (and failing) to bust me for marijuana dui. i am a medical marijuana patient and i smoke only in my car, even if i'm at home. that is totally legal as long as the keys aren't in the ignition. so being able to have my stereo on while blazing and not having to worry about if the cops pull up is a huge comfort. i would hate for them to nail me when i'm sitting in my car with no intention of driving just because my keys are in the ignition for music.
