quick in stall wiring question E53 non -dsp
 

just installed a AVH-x2500BT problem is its always on. There is no wire from factory harness for power on red wire.

Where are you guys tapping in for the power on 12v to turn the stereo? I would just leave the red and yellow hooked to gether but i this stereo does not seem to fully shut down with blue tooth connected. It will shut down but then when i go check a lil while later its on again and says some can not connect . Who knows I just need to find the 12v power on connection

thanks

I believe you have to move the red wire to the correct position in the adapter harness. Get a text light. Im pretty sure there is an ignition connection at the CD player harness. If not, go to the ign switch.

I used wire from the fuse box in the glove box. There is just enough room to get a wire, inline fuse and tap into an empty slot. That is actually where I got my constant power too...

anymore imput on this im gonna tackle this today im tired of my truck battery dying.

i still have not fixed this problem as im too lazy/busy to trace the wire out. i was just gonna put a switch in but i would rather the actual function to just work. I know you guys have installed many aftermarket stereos so which wire in the harness is the correct one so i can turn the truck off and it turns the stereo off.

for people that want to know if you splice into the purple and white wire that is your ignition on finally fixed the issue
