Default putting in TV ... Wiring Question:

Yellow Wire for "Vehicle's Storage Battery, Constant 12 V direct current" - does this mean to connect directly to battery or to any 12V fuse?


ACC Red Wire for "Lead wire of power supply meter power +12V" - Need help with this one


Dark Blue Wire for "connect to decorder" - i'm assuming this goes to the tv tuner?

many thanks

Default remote turn in is a low voltage (around 3V) signal, meant to kick on a device only

I'd go for the switched with ignition 12V, so you could run TV w/o the HU. You can find this under the driveside knee bolster at a bolt that is yellow and labelled 75X.

Default its not always on (constant)

If you tape 12v off your battery, it's constant 12v. Whatever device you use always has 12V going into it and is constant, unless teh device itself switches that 12V in the device (like how an amp works via remote turn on)

Switched 12V is switched by something other than the device.. something in the car. For example, the ACC. position in the starter is tied to a 12V source and the ACC position is the switch.

Your HU is a switch as well. It has 12V going to it and when you push the ON button on your HU it switches on and uses the power.

The position I mentioned is controlled by the ACC location, so when the car is OFF there is no power going to it, but when the car is in ACC or ON, it has power.
