hey all,I have partially installed a Motorola Bluetooth Kit in my '05 vibe but I now need to find 12v always on power and ignition sense or 12v while enion is running power, I need about 4 A on the always on and 3 amp on the ignition. those are max and the always on draws hardly anything until igition is on.thanks in advanceWill

On the radio harness:Blue/Yellow - 12v Constant (pin B1)Gry - 12v Switched (pin B2)They'll feed your kit fine.

Jahntassa slipped that in right before me, that'll work just fine for ya.For what it's worth, I used an Add-A-Circuit to connect to the CIG fuse for some LED's that I no longer have installed and the electrochromic rearview mirror. That gives me switched power with the ignition. Along the way, I found the P/POINT fuse is hot at all times, so that could be used to tap into for 12V constant. But I don't know about how safe it would be with the added amperage on these circuits...

Nah, if it's just a bluetooth handsfreekit, he should be fine. I ran my normal handsfree kit off those circuits with the NAV system with no problem.

thanks Guys, I was hopping to tap into the radio harnis but I only have about 1/2 inch to play with with out ripping it apart, they didn't leave much room, I I can't even get the radio out unless I get my hand back there and remove the connector, I assume that this is normal.I will see what I can do this week/weekendWill

Eh sorta. You can unplug the radio without fear. There's no 'lock' on it or anything.

ya I ahve had the radio out once, but with out knowing the right fuzes to take out to stop that red led from flashing it still scares me a bit.

The red light is literally a decoy. You don't need to take out any fuses, you can just pull the harness from the radio without any need to worry.

I agree with the radio wires, I put some LED's on my dash, just under the radio cover, and wired them into the Green wire on the harness. That one is linked into the dash ligts, so the LED's come on then the headlights come on, and the Voltage is controlled. As for a constant and switched 12V the harness is your best bet, and you are pulling so few Amps,that you should have NOTHING to worry about.
