[QUOTE="kross, post: 3222272, member: 577729"] Do you want the neon to be on whenever the radio is on? Or whenever the key in the ignition is on? i.e. you can have the ignition on but the radio off, do you want the neon on in this case? If you want it on whenever the ignition is in, wire it to the acc power going into the head unit. If you want it on whenever the radio is on, wire it to the remote turn-on output from the head unit. In either case, make sure you use a relay! Do NOT just wire it in directly to those wires. Use those wires just to turn on the relay. The actual power source for the neon should come from a heavier gauge wire going to the power source. How many amps does the neon draw? Knowing that will give us an idea where you can wire it.
