haha, what's up keith! yea, it's been a while since i last posted here. my car is coming along pretty well and looks nothing like what it does in my profile banner image, haha. but anyway... last night i just left everything the way it was and this morning i woke up and re-checked all of my fuses and i noticed that my cigarette lighter relay fuse was blown. so i replaced it and now my head unit works! it's really weird as to what had happened though beforehand with the headunit getting constant 12v+ even with the keys were out of the ignition. now it gets the power when the keys are switched to accessory or when the car is on only. weird, but it works!
