Ignition wire (red)
I just wanted to knoiw how to wire my car so the deck will turn on when i turn the ignition on.
I have been told to run a wire from the deck (Alpine cde-9881) to a sare socket in my fuse box but im not sure what to do.
Cheers
Why don't you wire it to the ignition wire in the radio loom? That's the normal place people connect it.

That's the accessories wire, he want the radio to come on with ignition.Originally Posted by StoneX
if i was to do it i would just run a single wire from the ignition wire coming from your ignition barrel, this would require finding the correct wire and soldering the new wire to it. if your not confident doing that maybe try to find a mate who is.
Can i ask why you want the radio to come on with ignition?
I just want the deck to turn on when i start my car
Oh, so you don't want it to work unless the car is running? For what reason?
Just gets annoying when i gotta turn it off and on by myself all the time lol gettin a bit lazy

Are you saying the unit does not turn itself off with the key turned to the off position?
It should be wired to the accessories circuit, unless someone has dodgied it and wired it all to constant power

Nah it turns off and on at the source/power button. I wanted it to turn off and on when i start the car

As i said above, can you turn it on with no key in the ignition?
By the sounds of it, its been wired wrong, it should already turn on/off with the key

I checked the wires from the car and the only ones that are connected to the deck is a red one a green and black and the rmote wire for the amps. I looked but couldnt find any more wires where could they be?

the two in particular you should be checking are the red and yellow wires, and what wires they are connected to
Power is measured in DECIBEL
red from car to red from deck which is ignition and then yellow/green to yellow from deck which is battery

Red from car? youre stock wiring loom dosent have a red cable?
You should have the red wire coming from your head-unit connected to the yellow wire in the stock loom.
The yellow wire coming from your head-unit should be connected to the orange/white wire in the stock loom.
The reason why your head-unit dosent turn off with the ignition is because the red wire isnt connected to the "ACC" wire. Dose your head-unit retain its memory (like station presets, clock, sound settings) ?

get a 12 volt test lamp clip the end onto some metal which is earthed to car the touch end of test lamp into the wires one at a time turning ignition on off and you will find the when you need then connect the RED wire to this one.......
Yeah as i said i could only find 3 wires connected to the deck.... I thought there should be more but i couldnt find them red from the deck was to red from the car and yellow and green from car to yellow from stereo. Thehn i had the remote for the amps. I couldnt find any more wires.... Maybe they have been stuffed behind the console or something

This is in your VX right?
You should also have some type of earth connected for the head-unit to work. Hopefully its not just earthing through the antenna lead...that can cause some problems.
