i guess my car doesnt have a working ACC wire, how do you tap the headunit ACC into the ignition? im a noob to car stereo so if someone can explain in full detail? thanks.
so i can buy that thing, put it in the original switched ignition source in the fuse box and connect the end of that thing to my headunit?Every car has an ignition wire.
If you can't find one in the dash, locate your fuse box, find a switched ignition source, and use that.
Use one of these:

They can be found at any auto parts store by the fuses, and they come in a few different variations for different fuse types.
i wouldnt have to install a fuse or anything?you'll definitely find the ignition wire in your steering column. you can tap into that no problem
stop getting ahead of yourself.. Jeeze. finding your ACC is one of the most fundamental basics of car audio
First of all... Why are you convinced your car DOES NOT have an ACC???
what kind of car do you have (be specific)
did you buy it new or used? did it have a stock or after market HU at the point you started fukin with it??
Do you own or know what a dmm (digital multi meter) is???
How old are you??

i cut... i shouldnt have :\Did you cut the stock radio plug/harness? Or are you using a stock-to-aftermarket harness?
If your stock radio plug is still intact, and you're using an aftermarket adapter harness, all wires should be present.
