    Did you use the relay like Luke said? You need that as the receiver draws a bit more current than that blue wire puts out.

    (Truthfully, thats why I wired to the red wire. I Would have used a relay and set it up the cool way, but the relay was in a box allllll the way on the other side of the garage. And it was cold out. :p )

      Ummmmmmm...did you miss that whole "USE A FUCKING RELAY" part? You Siruis draws about 900mA to maybe 1.2A, your blue/white can deliver about 350mA....wanna toast your deck or what?

          Yeah, RS or just about any auto parts store, or any car stereo shop, or under the hood of any spare E30s in your 'hood...just bring a screwdriver.
