There are two power wires goin into the back of the headunit mate. Underneath the headunit there should be a little diagram, on there youll be able to see which two these are.


If not, they should both have a blue colour on them, the remote wire is the thinner of the two its a very thin wire, the thicker one is the main power cable.


To test to see if it is, strip the wire down a bit, turn off the ignition and test for voltage with a voltmeter/bulb/tongue lol

lol tongue very doubtful thanks alot pal i shall go and have a look in a moment

On most it is the one with the white strip :)

But actually both work fine as I found out :p

[Predator_R32]

blue with white strip should be the remote, there either blu or blu with white strip

is it a pioneer headunit??

if you take the unit out, there usually have a sticker with a wiring diagram on the actual headunit

Mine on the JVC headunit was blue with a white stripe.

it is a panasonic head unit i looked at the wires because some are maked but nither of the blue ones are so thats why i was stuck one on the wires has a rubber cap on the end not connected to anything and the other blue wire goes from the iso connection to my head unit! i have a picture on my phone i would post it but recently formated my pv and not installed the bluetooth dongle thing sooo.... i carnt lol thanks for any help much appriciated

Should try the panasonic website for a manual , on my kenwood hu theres 2 remote wires but i got free fitting with mine :D

[cal1892]

mines are yellow n red if its the same cables im thinking of

[MattyJ]

I had to pull my remote wire out the isoblock, which was a faf on tbh. But its all done now.

[Predator_R32]

could always take it from the switched live if it doesnt have one, but first thing to do is phone up panasonics customer support

[adz_saxo]

cheers i will try the panasonic website then get them on the blowwa (phone)

thanks alot

[Predator_R32]

obviously have the model number of the headunit ready :y: just if you use a switched live off another device on the car it may be to powerful, i think the remote wire kicks out a lower voltage so you may need a fuse or a resistor if you took it off a switched live

[adz_saxo]

ok mate thx for the advise really usfull :D
