[WyattWatson]

Hello I have a 2006 Lincoln Navigator LE with THX and dvd player. I cant find where to splice my remote wire into because all of the wiring diagrams i found dont match up. Any help is great!

Heres some pictures of the stereo and wiring harresses.

Best bet is to use a test light if unsure if pinouts

Just run a fused wire into one of the extra accessory spaces in the cars main fuse block and that will act as a remote turn on.

Use the radio fuse put the wire in and cram the fuse in , not the best way but it works they also make fuse buddies that piggy back the fuse but it sounds like your in a pinch , or with your test light with ignition on make sure u find a fuse that's 12volts and when u turn the ignition off the power goes off. Most fords will have a 5amp fuse and a 20 or 30amp use the higher fuse.

the worst advise ever!

get your owners manual out. it will tell you all the fuse locations and what they do. get a test light of multimeter for double checking purposes. your lincoln likely takes mini blade fuses. so once you find your location get an add-a-fuse and install it at the switched power location you find. the other thing you can do is use an unused location and install and inline fuse and use a spade connector on the powered side of the terminal.

For now I took the wire and twisted it to the 1 of the radio fuse legs. Thank you for the information. What size add a fuse would i use if i got one to put in a unused location?
