Trying to put a Pioneer mechless into a MX5 MK2, the factory wiring has been butchered, so can't use a adaptor. According to the Pioneer instructions, I can wire the stereo 2 different ways! Both the Perm 12V and the switched 12V can be swapped according to the type of ignition switch wiring I have, I don't understand this, can someone please explain? Here's a link to the manual, page 12 is the wiring, please have a look and maybe translate for me! Thanks |

Yellow directly to battery or perm live on fuse box. Red to a switched live. I.e, something that only becomes live when you turn ignition on.

It's because a lot of modern cars these days have push button starts and the ignition isn't live in the same way

Aye. CAN networks are what modern stuff works on with multiplexing and modulation going on all over. No such thing as a "live" half the time.
