Ferrari Mailing List: More Stereo Installation & Wiring Expertise Needed

[Robert W. Garven Jr. (rgarven]

All,

As you know Ive been trying to tackle a better stereo in my 75 GT4  
with mixed results. I have not found a CD player that would mount  
vertically but have found a high power Kenwood
KDC-MP342U which has a USB port that I can plug a micro thumb drive in  
that works great. I recently placed one in my driver a 1998 Isuzu  
Rodeo. I am really happy with every aspect
of this head unit but know I will have to take out my center console  
and do some cutting to make it fit.

Here is my question and here is where Paul might be able to help. This  
unit needs to be turned off at the ignition or it will slowly sap the  
battery (something that makes no sense to me). The
75 GT4 has several devices, antenna and radio which work all the time  
and are independent of the ignition being on.  Is there some way that  
I can tie on to another fuse or set up some kind
of relay to make this happen. Remember this is not my area of  
expertise, and I just spent 3 months with a small subwoofer which I  
failed to get working and tossed the whole setup. I was
thinking of a toggle off on switch but thought something simpler that  
I would not forget to switch off would be better.  Any suggestion will  
be highly appreciated.
