Where is a 12v source to run my remote wire to?, ive had it tapped into the cigarette lighter source but now that just takes my car chargers and radar detector power away...where else can i hook it to?

 

wipers or rear defrost

 

What type of remote wire are you hooking up? Is it for an amp?

In that case use the blue or white/black wire from your ignition switch to the harness.

Take your steering column covers off and you'll find the wires leading from the switch to the bottom of the dash.

These only come on when the key is in the accessory position

 

or use the power supply from your head unit, or the power for the antenna if it is for an amp.

 

im using it to run my amp...if i hook it to the steering column then will it still run once the car is started...thanks for the help...

 

Use a SPDT relay. You get can the power directly from the battery and use the ignition switch to turn it on/off.
