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.

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?

Oh, so you don't want it to work unless the car is running? For what reason?

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
