I have taken on a Taurus install for a friend and am very lost. I have ran the harness from the back with the antenna feed, and changed over hvac controls and got them to work. for some reason it looks like im missing a harness to get power and ground to the head unit. Do you need to splice into these wires 12v and acc? or is there a harness for them? thanks alot

If you just need power and ground then yes, ground the head unit and tap a 12 volt acc. line for power.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
