    You need to work out of the fuse panel. You will need a hot all the time, switched hot and and good ground. That is all you need. You could do a hot all the time from the battery with inline fuse also. If you do not understand any of this, then you need to find someone who has experience installing systems. Learn from them. Hopefully you got the pigtail that goes into the head unit?

    I also might mention that 35 years ago what I wrote might well been martian talk. I learned, so can you.
