Default what wire would be a constant 12v power source on a Pioneer HU?

When I installed my XM radio I powered it by splicing into the red wire, but that turned out to be the accessory wire. I didn't install my HU and the little tags are mostly missing on the harness, so I don't want to figure this out by trial and error. Any help would be great, TIA

Default Are you trying to power the receiver box from your head unit harness?

I used my CD changer harness in the trunk and it works great. I don't know if you want to run the wires that far back, but since the antenna is going to get mounted back there somewhere, that is what I would suggest doing.

Also, if you are looking for the power wire into your Pioneer HU, then you probably need to reference your intallation book that came with it. If you are talking about the wire colors off the stock A4 harness then I think I can help.
