Berto Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 So I'm getting ready to put in my HU, but I haven't installed one in a long time. So, I want to get some quick questions answered: Can I connect the HU's "Switched Power (Ignition) Lead" and the "Battery Lead" to the same wire on the car's wire harness?

Berto Posted February 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 I just checked my wire harness again and there's only one orange/red color and it says "12 Volt Ignition/Switched" on it, so that would be the "Switched Power (Ignition) Lead" on my HU's harness, but there's no Yellow like the diagram says. The only other wire left is an Orange w/ white stipe and it says "Dimmer" on it. So where would my "Battery Lead" go?
