Can neither of you read? I did not wire anything.

I plugged 2 plugs into the factor plugs, then into the radio.

It has worked like this on the last 2 cars I installed it in.

Also, I never fucking said I HAD to turn the headlights on. If I were to turn the head lights on while the key is off, the radio would also get power. But it would turn on normal, with key power also.

And I will re-type this again, it is all factory wiring. Never been cut, just plugged in the adapted from bestbuy and then plugged the radio in.
