Radio wiring question...

[amalventano at sc.rr.com (Allyn)]

closest wire is actually right there next to the radio. you tap off of a
wire that goes to the fan switch, which only has power when the car is on.
the wires you can use are either a thick black/red wire that supplies power
to the fan switch, or a black/yellow wire, which branches off of the
black/red (it supposedly branches at the fan switch itself). the
black/yellow wire is supposed to go off to the glove compartment light, and
it is thinner, and probably easier to tap off of, as the fan power line is
pretty beefy. i think this line actually taps off at the fan switch plug,
where it ties into the car harness, which is a bit far into the dash (left
side of the air handler and upwards, near the instrument cluster).
either way, HTH, and happy hunting.

> Just got my radio, and the harness has two separate wires - one for
constant (battery) power, and one for ignition power.  (The battery power is
a thicker gauge)  Since the Scirocco only has one power wire (constant),
what do I do with the ignition harness wire?  Find a wire that is ignition
power somewhere?  ... Thanks!
