- 2007 VE SV6
Hey guys,
Since I'm no expert in any sort of car audio installations but have a decent knowledge of electronics, I have decided to have a go at installing an iPod integration kit for my VE SV6. Currently I have purchased an SSV head unit which is soon to be installed and I am confident in the swap as the factory wiring loom disconnects from the current OEM head unit and just connects into the new SSV head unit.
Now for the part which I need help with. I understand that when replacing OEM head units with aftermarket models, you would use the power and ground wires from the exisiting wiring loom that connected to the old head unit for the new head unit.
Now what I would like to know is if the standard head unit was left in tact and a single DIN aftermarket head unit was to be installed in the glove box, where would I get power for the aftermarket head unit from? I ask this as I believe the same principal would be applied to install the Alpine iPod integration kit which I'm looking at which requires power input of 11-15V DC via three wires labelled BATT (Battery), GND (Ground) and ACC (Accessories).

Therefore could I just wire the iPod Video Interface to a constant 12V Accessories feed? And if so, which would be the best feed to wire it to?
Cheers.
