I need to locate an "always hot" power source for my new XM. Everything else is a piece of cake, but the unit came with about three feet of wire with an inline fuse, built in to the main XM harness. Instructions say to connect this lead "to a terminal that is always supplied with power regardless of key position". Anyone know of a hot wire within three feet of the Head Unit that qualifies? Thanks in advance!

 

Blue/Yellow @ the radio is always constant

 

The yellow turned out to be constant hot, the blue gave me nada. Thanks for the reply, yellow it is, and my XM install is done.

 

My bad, Blue/Yellow means Blue with Yellow Stripe

 

I kinda figured that's what you meant, but I didn't see any blue with yellow stripes , so tested the blue one , and the yellow, and got lucky. Thanks for the help, you made it go quicker that's for sure.

 

no problem
