There is no ignition switching wire. Using the cigarette lighter power wire works for this as it is turned on and off with the ignition. You can get the illumination signal from the cigarette lighter too.

I've been thinking about looking at where the power window power comes from as you can still use them until you open the car door, this would replicate the factory behaviour.

hey mate....

mine was in the hole as well (unsecured..) and i did not have the ability to fixed it in...below is the picture before.




i took my car into precison audio install in sydney to install the speakers (also too hard of a job for me) and to fix the headunit....not sure how he's planning on installing it, but here's some initial pix i got from him yesterday.




the install should finish by the end of the week. so will keep you posted when i get the car back..(got i miss it!
