Hi guys. I'm a little lost here. I wired my amp's remote turn and an FM Modulator to my radio's 12v turn-on wire. I purchased an Ipod adapter to charge my Ipod while playing and don't know any other wires to use. Do you guys know any other wires I can use to provide power? Preferrably two more wires so I don't have to rely on my radio's turn-on so heavily. Thanks!
the fuse box? cigarette lighter? battery?
you should get a power distibution block for 12 volt accessories so you only make one connection to the car and the rest to the block
Use a relay and then only use your radios acc wire for a trigger to the relay. Really simple mod to do, then you don't have to worry about blowing random fuses.
Cut the 12v cig wire, power and ground, then cut your ipod, connect them, ground it and reconnect the cig lighter power that way it still works, then feed the ipod wire through the center dash to wherever you want it, nice and easy

Thanks for the replies. I was thinking relay as the most reliable solution as well. So if I do that, could I splice the acc wire to the 86 pin (with a 5a fuse) and the constant 12v wire to the 87 pin (with a 5a fuse)? Then have the add-ons connected to the 30 pin?Quote:
