Default Need help with stereo wiring harness

I have a Kenwood KDC-X915 receiver I'm installing, I'm running RCA cables for the speakers, but I still have the ignition wire and battery wire to run.

Now the factory headunit has a ton of wires going into it for various features (dimmer, input for dash display, etc), I plan on leaving these unconnected.

I don't have the TT concert stereo manual, so could someone please give me the wire colors for the ACC and the battery wire? (the battery wire on the harness is a yellow one and it bypasses the ignition key switch.

Thanks

Joe

Default VW connector? I'm in no man's land(at my parent's)...no Best Buy around

I have an aftermarket harness, it's already wired from the previous owner, I only have 4 wires that need to be connected to something from the car...the ignition wire to the ACC in the fuse box, the Battery wire (also goes to the fuse) and a power control wire.

Anyone have their stereo manual handy? Maybe someone could give me what abbreviation on the sticker (on the concert receiver) goes with each of these connections? Thanks

Default Try circuit city then....they are by scoshe I think

Factory color coded and labeled for simple hook up.
Failing that...do a search on John P,
He has done much in regard to the TT wiring harness as has Jeff Bipes...

Default Start Here.

this corresponds to the cable connectors coming out of the H/U.
Sorry, I do not have the color combos'.
Remove the H/U., and you can get at this bundle.
Wire into it what you want for power, etc.
