Hey
That is the wire that hooks into your headlights there should be a wire in your car loom that gets 12v dc only when the headlights are on this is the the wire that you need

Hope this helps
Brad

sony can provide you with a new face plate but depending on what type and what country your in there are laws that dont allow this as some times the units are stolen from cars there fore you might need to prove some how you own the unit ounce done you should be right

good luck

look on the wires... the letters are small but they should tell you...

Red is hot
Black Ground
Yellow constant
orange should be for antenna
blue is for remote

I can't remember the speaker breakdown... but again, look carefully, and you should see it.

Automobiles use Direct Current "DC" and is very dependant on a good ground. The black wire from your stereo should be the ground and needs to be attached to the chassis "metal part of the car". You can use an ohm meter to check for grounds by placing one lead on your door hinge (unpainted) and the other to where you are connecting your ground from the stereo. Be sure that this wire does not have voltage on it with the key off, on acc, or in the on position or you could blow a fuse or damage your equipment. Besides that make sure that you have 12v constant to the (usually red wire) and switched (voltage only with the key on) to (usually the yellow wire). Hope that helps. It's mostly about the ground.
