a little help with headrest monitors please.

[bbb543 10+ year member]

OK, well what i need to know is this: the monitors i bought (power acoustik PT717HR) work and turn on an off fine and do everything great. but the problem is i want them to turn on when i turn the car on and not have to use the remote to turn them on. I would much prefer just run a switch to them than have to keep track of those little remotes.

Is there any way to wire it or do something so that theyll turn on with the car and i can put a toggle switch in to turn in on and off with?

You should be able to wire the power wire into the accesory lead behind the radio...or tap into a fuse that powers up when the key is turned on...

ive got it wired in with the 12v+ on the wiring harness and i have to use the remotes to turn them on. Is that wrong?
