Im wiring up my headunit, just a shitty Blaupunkt.

Ive got all my hardwires for my 4 new speakers all run and connected but I need some help on the power wire

What wire am I tapping for the power for the headunit? Hopesomeone knows the color off hand. Wanna finish this shortly

Thanks

EDIT- The RED/YELLOW from my cars harness has power with the ignition on

From my cd player I have a RED wire labelled IGNITION and a YELLOW wire labelled BATTERY 12+V

Also the WHITE/BLUE wire from my cars harness never seems to have more than 1.16 of power.

Ive had this cd player in my car, but it was stolen and recoverred.

Ive tried different combo's of hooking up the power wire to the red and the yellow from the cd player and the dam thing wont turn on. Ground is also connected no prob

the yellow should be the one that is constant to your headunit. the red ignition wire is basically a trigger for the headunit to turn on.

 

Ya I just wired it like that

Blue/White -> Yellow
Red/Yellow -> Red

But like I said, the blue/white is supposed to be constant power right? Maybe I blew the fuse?

With the car turned on the red/yellow is throwing like 14volts, but I still cant get the cd player to turn on, would the blue/white blown fuse cause that?

I gotta buy some fuses then. I couldnt find the "backup" fuse in my fuse box under the hood. Where is it?

THanks

this is for a Crx not an EG, theres no 7.5 under the hood

well if I run it to the battery, Ill still be able to turn it on and off so it isnt constantly draining power right?

I was thinking of doing that
