    lookie what i found.......

    for only 50 bucks! i cant believe i found it! it took forever but finally got my hands on one. they're so hard to find. (its the alpine one lol)



    the black wire is the ground, the yellow is for power. where do you guys suggest i connect the yellow in the trunk? if worst comes to worst ill just run a long wire from the ignition (green wire) to this. thanks

      You can use the power wire from the trunk light to power that changer, or the red wire at the power antenna.

          You have to have a constant wire at the antenna.

          Whatever the not-white one is

            the power wire is the big black cable looking thing that is too thick to splice into.

              No thats your antenna wire, there is a little power wire that makes your power antenna go up and down.

                it should have wires inside of it. pull that cover off the inside of the trunk and look for the red wire. i wouldnt say or argue there isnt a red wire to the antenna when the guy who suggested it wires in these cars often. its a quick way for a one way ticket to banville.

                    No no, none of that. Bannage is NOT me, arguing is no fun, but since I am 99% right 99% of the time, its OK.

                    It is NOT the thick wire though, I promise. That would be the antenna wire, the actual signal cable. Don't fuck with it unless you already know what you are doing.

                    OK, so I just looked at the ETM. The antenna DOES have a red wire, from fuse 28, 30A. The wire is red/yellow until the antenna plug, then it is red.

                    There is also the white wire, which is the trigger that sends the antenna up when it gets +12V from the radio.

                    Hook your changer to that red wire, all will be fine.
