Defi control unit wiring
 

Anyone tell me or better still have pics of what wires they tapped into for wiring up a defi control unit.

TIA

RRB,

If you're going to use the clock plug / circuit to power the control unit then 3 of the wires are OK from there (+12V permanent, +12V switched - accessory and 0V earth).
These are indicated on the back of the clock unit for guidance :)

The illumination feed as to come from either the stereo or some other point that's live (+12V) when the lights are on.

An easy way to find these is with a voltmeter: (the colours in brackets are the wires on the back of the clock)

Permanent live +12V = as it say on the tin (blue with red stripe)
switched +12V = only live when key turned to 1st position (accessories) (yellow with green stripe)
Earth = 0V (black)

Illumination +12V = only live when key turned on and lights turned on (orange wire on stereo or take from bezel lighting connection on cig lighter)

HTH
