Avelectronic install - Tapping into the the Nav Power?

I just purchased the service manual and AV unit and I would like to tap into the Nav power to power the AV Nav switcher. In the manual on page 22-477 it says the WHT/RED wire (Connector C) is the constant power wire but I do not see a wire that powers only when the ignition is on. Is this the wire I need to tap into or is it another wire?

Thank you very much in advance for replies. I would like to complete the install this weekend.


By the way I searched for this info and came up zero.
thanks again

I payed 100$ to get mine installed. Tuner w/ 2 ANT accross the windshield. 10 disc dvd changer and custom felt gamecube casing. When he ran the power for the AV unit it was from the the battery i believe...

Wow, thats not bad at all ($100). How did he power the game cube? and What sound option did you choose? Can you post pics?
thanks

The owner of AV told me the that easiest way to install was to tap into the Nav power. Does anyone know if the Wht/Red wire is correct one?

I'm outta town for the next month (sob) The game cube is run off of a bestbuy videogame inverter that was spliced and run to the battery with a special fuse(?) I also ran an extension cord offa this to the passenger seat as well so i can plug in my laptop on a hectic day. That custom casing for the gamecube is fixed to the interior felt shell of the trunk which is semi rigid. It has grooves to hold it in steady and the top is accessable to swap games out. I ended up buying the gameboy addition due to the crappy resolution on the in dash Navi ( not bad resolution, just small) making it hard to play most games.

For audio i am using fm modulator still waiting for proper blitzsafe.

The install is SUPER clean. Kudos to Cardinal Stereos out of PHX, after all i drove from new mexico to have it done (while visiting friends) I'll post pics when i get home begging of november.
