I used the the “other” amp or antenna power turn on source to power the Ibus device, I used the ground to the radio & I used the now defunct radio Ibus wire (it’s colored exactly as described in the link).
Now, this unit has 2 USB ports, #24 & #26, does it matter which I use for the IBUS stick?

Sorry for my noobness, but electrical wiring was never my strong suit. When you guys say "connect the red wire to switched 12v" how am I making these connections? Strip the wires and twist together? snap on connections?

I really work better with pictures and step by step proceedures
