    I'm sure that if you plugged the earth to a positive supply it wouldn't turn on/blow up.

    the ignition power from the car wiring harness is connected to a consent 12 v wire on the head unit and then then the constant 12 v from the wiring harness is plugged into the accessory wire on the head unit.
