Ok I have a question about a wiring harness I ordered from Ebay

Yellow – 12V Constant

Red – 12V Accessory

Black - Ground

Orange – Dash Light Dimmer

Green – Left Rear Speaker (+)

Green with Black Stripe Left Rear Speaker (-)

White – Left Front Speaker (+)

White with Black Stripe – Left Front Speaker (-)

Purple – Right Rear Speaker (+)

Purple with Black Stripe – Right Rear Speaker (-)

Gray – Right Front Speaker (+)

Gray with Black Stripe – Right Front Speaker (-)

Blue - Power Antenna

This is all the Connections it came with, My question is about the Red - 12V Accessory. It is completely seperate from the Adapter and it has a fuse in it, is this the actual 12v power and if so how is it connected? im used to having all the connections in the actual adapter itself nothing seperate. The part # for schoche is CR04B if anybody would like to look at it and see if they can explain it. Anybody help would be useful thanks!

Also If in fact the Red adapter is supposed to be the power source for 12v, what is the "Yellow - 12v Constant" for?

The yellow is a constant power that actually powers the radio. The red is a switched power that turns the radio on. Dodge harness has no switched power to the radio the stock unit is turned on by a bus message. The red wire needs to be hooked to a switched power source of your choice. Maybe splice off the power outlet if it's not powered when the key is off.

hmm, any ideas what I could wire it to, not sure what would be a 12v power source

1. test you power outlet to see if its switched. most likely its not.

2. run wire from the deck to outlet and connect correctly and rin the wire so it will not be pinched.

3. if the outlet is not a switched source you can go to your fuse box(in the trunk) and move your outlet fuse over to make it switched. it should have this in the manual.

4. connect the red wire running from the outlet to the red wire from the deck your installing.
