    So after hearing everyones input I was able to install my head unit. I have one problem tho of course lol...I was told the bluue with red stripe wires (2 of them going into 1) can be used for the illumination for the head unit. I was told you have to use both wires. Well my problem is one of the wires arent connected to anything. Any suggestion where it goes or if theres another way I can connect to get light to my unit, abd which wire I use . The 12v or the switch

    If you have 2 wires connected to the unit - one switched and one constant "memory" the light in the head unit should be on automatically
