I am going to direct wire my Sirius radio. Can anyone tell me which wire coming out of the Acc Relay I can use for key on power?

Thanks in advance

How about the two 'ACC' power terminals on the Left side of the fuse block? The top is Positive, bottom Negative - use a good #2 Phillips to crack them loose the first time.

There is a hot wire that runs off the iginition switch that is easy to get to. Its under the left fairing pocket in the rubber boot with the plug for the MP3 plug line. I recently purchased the Sierra Electronics Sirrius Satellite setup and that is where it plugs in for power. Comes on and off with the ignition switch key. Plug from dock to connector for MP3 (brown plug) Hot wire goes from dock to red plug. Make sure that you have the appropriate fuse in between. Sirrius radio's operate on 5 volts, 6 volts, and I think 8 volts. 12 volts direct will kill one. If you need the wirtten directions for the kit, I can scan them in and send them to you if necessary.

Here are the instructions for the Gl1800 Satellite Radio from Sierra Electronics. It was a breeze to install. No problems. Works well. I did have the ground loop isolator with mine in the package and used it.
Any questions give me a call 903-571-5660 or email [email protected]

he screw terminal in the fuse block is good for 5 amps only & barely useful..

Red plug near the AUX audio cable under left pocket is power source. Any LIGHT GREEN/BLACK wire runs accessories when the key is on and I use it anywhere handy. The wire is everywhere. RED/YELLOW is hot all the time. Solid GREEN is always ground.
