Hey folks,
Finally got around to spending most of a day installing my replacement
stereo (taking out the WHOLE Bose system - which is junk IMHO) .....running all
the patch cords, speaker wires, amps, ect.
I initially wired my Nakamichi headunit to use the factory constant hot
lead to both it's switched and un-switched power leads as I have done on other
headunits, but the battery draw seems to be too high even when the unit is
powered off.
Here is my question: what is the best source of switched power in that
general area of the dash? I tried all the factory radio wires (don't have the
Bose headunit pinout info) and none seem to be 12V switched. This was at the
end of the day, so in reality I did not look to hard....
Anyone have some quick BTDT before I steal power from one of the foglight
switches?
BTW, if some wants or needs both a V8 headunit / front speakers w marginal
amp, or factory CD changer let me know - all will be sold for cheap.
TIA!
Jack
PS- Happy Turkey Day one and all!
