connect it to a ground...that is all it is......don't let johnny law catch you with it on though.....instant ticket......maybe not if you have p0rn on

i tried that... cause that is the green wire.. i still have a blue one that says system remote control and a yellow that says guide on and an orange one that says ILL and a yellow with no tag... also arnt they supposed to have some sort of "black box" that controls the whole unit?? or at least i was told that i might need one.. but i didnt get one

where did u get it from? what unit is it exactly? im guessin avic-1? the blue, yellow and orange wires should be part of the normal wiring. did u buy a harness for your car specifically for the unit or are you hardwiring it? if you are hardwiring it, then i suggest looking at the wiring guide up in the sticky's to figure out which wire goes to which. i cant recall right now what they are so yea..

i have the wiring kit for my car... the orange is the Dim thing.. it is the AVH-P7600DVD but i figured out why i got it so cheap... and now i have to try and find the part that i need... that black box thing that i was talking about earler... it is the control unit for the whole thing.. and i didnt get one the retail on the whole unit is 2,200$ and i only paid 1,000$ but now i know why... well i will get this damn thing to work one way or another

Ground it.

Or buy a switch connect one end of the switch to a ground and the other end to the parking brake wire of the Pioneer TV.

well from my pioneer headunit instal off the top of my head... and this might be wrong/not applicable to your unit

blue = remote lead (like to an amp), think it has a white stripe too, if no amp, no worry
orange = your illumination control (sometimes white stripe also)
solid yellow = your power ( not just the red acc) regardless of ignition switch
yellow/black stripe = cell phone mute wire - if you don't have an in phone car no worry

my green wires were for the left rear speakers...
it was white/whiteblack = front left
gray/grayblack = front right
green/greenblack = rear left
purple/purpleblack = rear right

the only thing is that i have 2 yellow/black wires and 1 is taged with a "Guide On" and the other dosnt say anythang... i am going to try and order another brain for it... hopefully they wont be too expencive but as long as they arnt over like 200$ ill get one soon.. but if they are ill have to wait a few weeks
