I bought a Harmon Kardon iPod interface tonight to integrate with my hard-wired Bose mod. The power harness to the brain has three wires: yellow to hook up to ACC which I am going to splice into the positive side of my cig lighter, a ground, which will be grounded somewhere, and a red wire that needs to go to +12v. What is the easiest thing to tap into to get +12v? (There is an inline fuse already built into the red wire.) Thanks.

 

Do you need unswitched battery power for the red wire? Bose recieves unswitched battery power (you can eject the CD with the key out, and it keeps radio presets).

Looking at the larger of the two Bose connectors, with the clip facing up, terminal 6 (unswitched B+) is the bottom row, third from the left. FSM shows wire color as P/L, I assume purple with a tracer I can't identify.

 

perfect, thanks.
