I was wondering if anyone knows what the three wires coming from the 12-volt plug are --

grey/white, grey/red and black

Specifically, I want to connect my Sirius satellite radio to the 12-volt line.

Thanks for any help that can be provided.

Tap into the ign source on the back of the deck, that way it will only come on when the radio is on

Yes, that is what I want to do -- any idea of which of the many colored wires I am supposed to tap into?

Radio 12v lt. GREEN/ purple   +   radio harness
Radio Ground black and BLACK/ lt. green   -   radio harness
Radio Ignition pink/black or lt. GREEN/ YELLOW +   radio harness
Test them first, Which sat radio do you have? The new ones are 5 volts, so you cand cut the end off and put in an inline fuse, so I use a cig adapter and hardwire it, be sure to tape them together so they dont fall apart.
