I had this same problem. At first I wired the red wire (the ignition remote wire) from the radio to the orange wire on the harness (the lights). This works somewhat decently; the only downside is that you have to have your fog lights on if you want to have the radio on. If your car has a sunroof...I ...

Sorry....I meant "no big deal." I wired it to the right-hand wire in the sunroof control harness to retain the RAP functionality (making the stereo turn off when the doors open after the car is turned off). There is only one problem and that is when the sunroof automatically goes back, it apparently ...

I wired it into the sunroof nbd...crisis averted. Radio/subwoofer are successfully installed. My username is no longer accurate but whatevs.

It wouldn't turn on or anything. I then connected the orange wire on the harness to the red wire on the unit because I ...

Almost got this aftermarket thing installed. It was working... until I started driving around, at which point it mysteriously turned off. Turns out that the "key on" or ignition signal that the radio needs to stay on was connected to the lighting power. This clearly is not ideal. Where can I find a ...

New News: apparently it wasn't a clean cut. There's still power going to the radio and it's fully functional; however, I need like... 1/8th of an inch more to get the unit i got to fit (depth wise). In order to do this I want to get the ribbon unattached to the plastic (aka removing the plastic ...

In the past year my tape deck died. Normally, I would not be too upset with this loss; however, I used the tape deck in order to play my iPod (via one of those tapes with a 3.5mm plug coming out of it). Annoyed and frustrated (especially with the use of CDs), I decided that it was time to install an ...
