hook it up to your accessory wire on the ign harness. get urself a multimeter and test the big gauge wires for a wire that's 12 volts only when the key's on accessory or the vehicle is started but not when the vehicle is cranking. if u can't do that then i suggest you get it installed professionally.

sorry... i didn't kno about those pins. i just use the ign harness cause i'm guaranteed that what i'm looking for is there. sheesh... if he wanted to he can get it at the radio harness. i may try that one day... but i kno for sure the ign will work.
