[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8656624, member: 576029"] Thanks for the pics. Good detail so far and glad to see you are taking the time to do this correctly (solder, shrink, tidy, etc). Relay wiring looks correct. You can tie pin 87 to the constant wires at the harness (yellow) and that should be fine. you'll never pull 10A anyway and most wires don't pull more than 3A on the accessory (red) wire, they source current on the yellow wire. I prefer to ground aftermarket head units to the chassis directly, but the factory ground wires should be ok. A DMM will help here, so you can measure voltage and verify you have 12V at both yellow and red wires (battery and ignition) on the Kenwood harness. [/QUOTE]
