Color of 12V power source behind HU?

I'm currently trying to wire a Varad scanner and I've so far hooked up the 12V ignition wire behind the stock non bose headunit on my 2k2 max. I now have to wire the scanner to a 12V power source but I'm not sure which wire it is behind my headunit. Can someone tell me which color wire it is and on which harness it is on? Thanks,

Nathan

Why you'd want to power your scanner with the radio's power is beyond me, as I would find a switched and unswitched fuse at the fuse box. But anyway, here is what you are looking for.

2002 Audio System:
Constant Power: Terminal 6 Yellow Wire
Switched Power: Terminal 10 Purple Wire

The Connector is a 10 pin connector that looks like this:

|--|-|---|-|-|
|10|8|XXX|4|2|
|--|-|---|-|-|
|XX|7|6|5|3|1|
|--|-|-|-|-|-|

you guys should invest in a DMM or LP. They can help you in many situations!

Why not just go to the main ignition harness? Instead of pulling your radio.
