Re: Clock question (mike_pasara)
much safer going to the fusepanel.....
on the fusepanel theres usually 3 male spade terminals, one is parking lights, one is accsessory, and one is a constant 12 volt (memory as you said)
i would figure out where the constant is on the fusepanel and run my own 15 amp fuse to the yellow of your aftermarket radio.
also, you can go to your ignition harness (thick white wire is usually 12 volt constant on hondas) as well as your positive battery terminal.
just always make sure you run your own fuse, following the listed amperage of the manufactures spec, usually a 10 or 15 amp depending on the power of the radio.
the reason i would suggest NOT using the clock wire is theres probably a bunch of things on the circuit and its probably a 7.5 or a 10 amp so you risk blowing it in the long run.
either way, bump for an answer to your question.
(ps yea i install for a living, 4 years now. )

Re: Clock question (mike_pasara)
the rerason i told him to do it this way is because its right there and wont need to add any wire ,just splice into it ,as for the color ,im not sure but i can go take a look
there should be a color with a strip in it and a ground ,the color is the live
but i'll make sure for you

Re: (mike_pasara)
Look at the wiring diagram that came with your deck, or if you dont have it, look online. Check the bottom of the deck, some have it glued right on, but it might not.
If you still cant find it, yellow is probably constant, it normally is.
Unless both yellow and red arent power connections, you wont fry anything by hooking them up backwards. Your deck will just always be on, so youll want to switch the wires around if that happens.
