Key Live - For aftermarket radio

[superchargedpolo]

Has anyone worked out if there is a suitable 'key live' in the T6 wiring loom. I have wired a number of T5 and T5GPs and you could splice into a green/black wire. This stayed live until you pulled the keys out. Great for an aftermarket stereo install.

I have a wee amp to install on a standard head unit and need to give it a key live as well as a permanent live.

Thanks in advance
Craig

Hi Craig

You can pick up the brown/green behind the fusebox like the T5, but I suggest using a auto turn on device which gives a slight delay to avoid pop on noise and will also work when you don't have the key in, so you can listen to it whilst sat up

Ah thanks. I can't have been looking hard enough.
Will have another look tomorrow

Jason, what gives the auto-turn on it's power? Is it some kind of physical switch?

It senses the Audio signal,

I am guessing at a Canbus decoder.
