I am stuck on this one problem. I have a feeling it's a very easy one but I'm just too brain dead right now. I just installed my Alpine iva-c801 into my 1998 Honda Prelude. I'm positive I have all the wires to the speakers right and most of the other wires. It's working right now when I play cd or the radio but when I shut off the engine it's still playing. Get this, it's still playing when all of the lights to the unit is off. I don't know where I went wrong with this. Could it be a mix up of constant and ignition wiring?

I wonder if this wire goes with this wire?....zzzpt. hmm. I guess not.

One more thing. How do I install the unit so that it can work while the car is in motion. Location of where to find the wires and/or color of the wires would be very useful. Thanks in advance.

I have just found out more to my problem. My amp doesn't seem to turn off when my ignition is off. I am very stumped on that because it seems to me that I have installed that right. The only problem I can figure out is maybe the remote wire.

The deck only plays music when the ignition is off when it's in radio mode, but if it's in cd then there will be no music after the deck is off.
