DE Head Unit Problem
I was installing an aftermarket head unit when I discovered my factory unit had unusual wiring.
http://www.amazon.com/Metra-70-7005-.../dp/B001JT128K
The wiring harness sent to me will fit, but the wires do not match up or anything. (There is a spot on the harness for a 12v switched wire as well, but no 12v switched wire in the factory wiring).
After troubleshooting to no avail, I hardwired the aftermarket unit and tapped into the cig lighter for a 12v switched source. I do not want this to a permanent fix though, and would like to sort out my problem.
Any suggestions or experience with this?
The vehicle is a 2010 Lancer DE. Was purchased brand new so all of this mess is factory.
