Does anyonw know where I can find the wiring diagrams for the Ford JBL/Premium sound harness? I am trying to locate the Remote Amp Power so I can hook in a relay to provide power to my XM unit, but the colors listed in the Vehicle information section don't seem to match. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Sal

Why don't you just catch the switched power and not worry about a relay.

Originally I only wanted the unit to turn on when the radio is powered up,n ot when the car isstarted, but I guess that would be a close second. Do you know which wire is the switched power ont eh JBL head unit?

Thanks,
Sal

The switch power wire behind the radio is the wire that power's the unit.  The constant wire only holds the memory for stations presets and the clock.

.  It's the yellow/black wire.
