question: Where did you hook up the line to the ignition so that it knows when the key is in or out?

thanks!

What management do you have? My remote is coming from the rocker switch placed beside the steering wheel, so I used the sigarette lighter for remote signal.

Nice! Rocker switch or touch pad? If you have the rocker switch it is easiest to connect it to the sigarette lighter. I'm not sure how the touch pad is.

I see. I just did not see the point with two remotes, and it is easier to hide the rocker switch than the touch pad.

Touch pad will be in the center council as a back up. Do u ever drive with out your phone? Or your phone die? Some times for me so this is just a fail switch incase that happens. Only a couple hundred bucks so why not.

I have an iPod as the main remote. And the rocker switch is a backup, just like your touch pad. And I can use my phone if I want to.

True I thought about that but I rather just have all that I can have at once then later on want to change it. Just incase something fails I like to have a hard wire connection!

I think the green/yellow is + and brown -. You can just use a multimeter to check that or a bulb with wires, that's what I did.

I only have one lighter so I used one, but it is only a signal to trigger the power. Will barely use any power. So you don't need to connect to both of them.

I have a purple wire that says headlight... I'm guessing both need to to to power I just got them wired up to the cgi lighter but I'm using the one under the armrest instead I think that would work the same?

Oh, I don't have the purple one. If you want to be safe, you could just connect it to the headlights, or tail lights maybe..?

Mexico is south of the border. A lot of Mexican illegally migrate into the USA and their preference is low riders (cars on airs like yours). So the connotation it's incorrect. Denotation it's fine. Kind of like calling American Indians, Redskins.

It's for the touch pad. Dims it when the headlights are on. It's not a must to connect it!

Thanks for your help man!
