not gettin power Reply #5 – October 17, 2006, 10:35:47 PM Sounds like you have a blown fuse or a bad wire. Also you could tap into the lighter plugs power wire for the constant power source. That might be on the same fuse as the mem wire in the factory harness. I'm not sure but it might be. Quote Selected

Both in the grey plug.. Quote Selected
not gettin power Reply #8 – October 18, 2006, 10:27:08 AM My thoughts exzactly master blaster. If you are really getting the constant power then your head unit would keep all your presets and the clock. Also why not just get power from the cig lighter. It is always on in these cars. Then you wouldn't have to run all the wire to the battery. And no it won't drain you battery to much. Where do you think the power comes from in the first place? Any how sounds like you need to check the fuses. Also some of those aftermarket harness adpaters are made cheaply and the pins like to come out real easy. Quote Selected
