I just bought a DVD player for my LCD in dash screen but i can't seem to get the installation right. Since i can't seem to post the diagram here, i'll try and explain what it says, i just need help with two of the wires, i dont' know what to connect them to:

Yellow wire: From DVD to "ACC (ignition switch)"
Blue wire: From DVD to "Remote Out"

If anyone needs the diagram i'll be more than happy to email it to them since i REALLY need to know where the 2 go to..i have an idea, but i keep blowing the fuse so i'm guessing i'm doing it wrong..thanks to all!!

Use the blue wire only if you have an amp, I'm not sure if the stock system uses one. If you have a voltage tester you can figure out which wire is the ignition on by connecting one end to ground and finding out which wire in the dahs has power when the ignition is turned on. Somebody prolly knows which colours theses wires are already but my haynes only goes to 98 so I can't be sure. But if it is the same it would be yellow/black tracer for the ACC.

EDIT: This should probably be in the audio section also, not the perfomance lighting forum.

ignition wire

O.K. i think i can help you out, the ignition wire is the yellow/black wire in one of the radio harnesses of the 2001 i know for sure, i'm pretty sure it's the same in the 2000..............2000 xlt explorer right?

Let me know if this helps you out,
Stu
 






and now i read bates post and see he said the same thing, oh well... i hope you figure it out
 






He can link a pic, just not attach one.
