+12v connection in the trunk?

alpac · #1 10-05-2005, 03:44 PM

I am planning to add an amp and a subwoofer in the trunk of my X5. I know exactly where to get the sub signal from. I know also how to power the amp from a constant +12v from the power point located in the trunk. The problem I have right now is to find another +12V working with the ignition key for the amp remote to turn on and off the amp. Any idea where I can get this +12v from somewhere in the trunk? All the +12v wires I found were constant +12v.

Thanks ekaz but this pin 13 is in the back of the radio module which is in the front I guess while I am looking at something in the trunck area.

The radio module is in the trunk right next to the battery. There's a picture somewhere in the stereo forum with a picture. I'll see if I can find it.
Picture is in this thread:
