Any way to add remote turn on to car that doesn't have one?

[dannieboiz 10+ year member]

Ok I know this sounds weird, it's my first too. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif

To make a long story short, I can't find the remote turn on wire on my car. Don't try to convince me that it does, I know that it does but not the traditional way that we're all used to seeing.

I know I can add a JL SoundSweap or the likes so it can give me a low voltage --> 12volt remote one. But that's too not worth it if I'm only using it for only one purpose.

I'm keeping everything stock in my car and just added the sub. sounds fine.

Is there a cheap unit that would do this? A relay or some sort?

You can get an ACC wire in the Drivers ignition harness, or some GM vehicles have aux. Acc wires that you can tap into. Depends on your car, but most of the time if I need an Acc. wire I just get it right out of the ignition harness, its the easiest place to find one.

Yah, I can do that, but my car have the battery and all the fuse box located in the trunk. All the cables and wirings start from the trunk. I just can't find the **** wire. LOL

The carpet are pretty much glued to the floor. I don't want to temper with this car. Trying to minimize as much tearing out as possible. There's an power outlet in the center back seat but to tap into it that means, I have to pull out the center console, rip out the carpets to run the wires and all the door sills. It's just one of those cars that I'm so **** afraid to touch anything.

The **** stock system uses fiberoptic for signals and what not. piercing into the wrong wire would mean disaster.

or you can find a fuse in your fuse box that only turns on when the cars on and or radio is on...

I've tried testing the fuses box. Seems like all of the circuit are constant 12volt //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

The ignition harness is at the steering column. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

The car is a Mercedes E class, and it uses a Smart key, it's all electronics under there. Looks like I will have to tap into the cigarette lighter, at least that's the only thing that's built to what we think that are standard. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif I've never had this much trouble installing a system in any of my car until now. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif

The car doesn't have power antenna or anything.
