I decided to update my fuse box with a J-West box. ( Much nicer) and at the same time install an after market SONY digital radio. I need help with where to locate or "splice"
the new wiring. There is a yellow 12V power wire that supposedly stays on all the time as you dont lose your presets. A red wire that is the 12V "Key On accessory wire" and an Orange/white wire that is an "illumination wire" that dims your new radio lights when the headlights are activated. Where is the best place to attach/splice/locate these wires ? Last time I added an after market radio was pre-digital and just attached the one radio line to the cigarette lead. |

Thanks, Dave.
They sell a kit with the fused cable and everything--I think I'll pick one up. I'll wire my preamp and USB power supply to the fuse box. |
