I am hooking up an in dash monitor, 2 headrest screens, a FM mod, Video amp and DVD. Where should I draw power. I was thinking of running leads directly from the battery fused. Is this ok or does anyone have any better suggestions. Thanks.

That would be a good source. Use a 10 guage wire and run it to a central location that all the devices can split from that spot.

The remote wire is your system turn on wire. This wire will have 12 volts on it when your system activates and carries 12 volts to turn on any device that it is hooked up to that requires a 12 volt turn on signal.

Green goes to ground ( IF THIS IS FOR THE HAND BRAKE )

BLACK -goes to ground as well

RED - If you have this going to a constant power wire, switch it to an ignition switched wire.

YELLOW - Traditionally this is the constant wire but to be sure, switch betweent he ignition wire and constant. If you loose memeory on the clock, then this is the constant wire and the RED is the switched.
