Sony X100BT fuse and power help

[Carl Weezer]

Hi guys, I'm kind of a rookie at this, but have a decent understanding of both the wiring mechanics behind the installation process of this unit. So I bought it used online, and, little did I know that it did not come with the power cable necessary to install it nor did it come with the fuse cable. Now, here's my problem, I cannot find the fuse cable anywhere online, can someone point me in the right direction for finding one with the right connector? It looks proprietary and no one is selling them. Thanks!

fuse cable? i think you might be confused with the power wiring for headunits

the power wire you tap into from the factory unit will be factory fused, and the ground will just be ground. the remote 12v turn on and ignitiion turn on are usually the only weird ones so just ask if thats what you're after

if you need a proprietary wiring harness/tail that plugs into the back of the headunit you'll need to find that online.

the xb100 is a high power unit. It needs to be installed as if it was an amp. It has its own seperate external power supply. I personally own one and love it.
