Hi, I have mazda 3 2006 and I just bought this aux input Scosche FMMOD02 Universal FM MODULATOR
I'm planning on placing it in the ashtray, I got every thing figured out except how to power it.
the FM modulator require a 12v connection (one red wire + another for the ground) and I don't know much about wiring, but I looked up the Wiring Diagram
2008 Mazda 3 Car Stereo Wiring Diagram (think it's the same for 2006)
Car Radio Battery Constant 12v+ Wire: Orange/Black
Car Radio Accessory Switched 12v+ Wire: Orange/Black with Silver Dots
Car Radio Ground Wire: Black/Green
Car Radio Illumination Wire: N/A
Car Stereo Dimmer Wire: Orange
My problem is I don't know where to connect the red wire (12v of the FM mod), at first I though about connecting it to the Car Radio Accessory Switched 12v+ Wire: Orange/Black with Silver Dots
But I've been told this only provides power when the lights are on
Can I tap into the lighter power by splitting it? will it have enough power to power both?
Any suggestions? please give details since I'm a noobie.
Thanks
