Behind fuse box. You can get all three wires there. Yelllow is +. Black/yellow is ACC and balck is - You can use a four way connector like I did (car plug is on the right, or just male spade connectors. The green wire is mute Edited 22/01/17 12:42 AM by arronm 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/92872-xr6turbo-headunit-installation/#findComment-1629248 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickybobby New Member 15 Member For: 8y 5m 10d Posted 22/01/17 12:33 AM Author Share Posted 22/01/17 12:33 AM I had a mate who used the 12vplug and it cancels out the windows when the headunit is running. Draws to much power for the motor to work. Hate to be a pain but what one is the Bluetooth plug and what wire of it do I use for just mains power? Photo reference would be sweet!!! I originaly had a aux plugged in but it created way to much interference noise. is that the same plug?

The 12v plug is not even on the same circuit as the power window motors.

If you have an electrical issue, it's a quick unplug and you are back to factory spec so you can eliminate your additional wiring and accessories as the cause. I've got an additional power socket for my Bluetooth hands free adaptor and my gauges wired that way.
