Does anyone have an explanation on the tech side of how the "local area network" works. is it digital? low current DC or AC. And another question would be, where is the best place to tap ign?(other than the ign harness), thats where I normaly go with these new systems, of course with an additional fuse for amp trip lead.Just curious as how the system works. any info is welcome. Thanks, Nate

most "local area networks" are the same, like can bus and the rest, you have alot of experience, so I am asking for a good explanation and maybe some short cuts on finding a fused IGN spot on both systems. Thanks

how much current are you wanting to pull? i wouldnt pull more than 10amps MAX from a ignition harness.
if you are tring to make a remote turn on lead for a amp buy a audiopipe line out put converter with rto. they dont cost much and you wont be running the amps until the headunit is on. if u need one pm me...

If you have a new GM say with a LAN in it I would suggest the following;
Get a standard automotive relay, tap the IGN wire, find a dedicated 12v supply either from a harness in the dash or run a new one, and then a ground of course needs to be made and there you have a remote turn on/ACC cable.

This an old post that i posted with a differnt name, moved. There is a spot in the lower driver side foot area that has access for trailor lights and control, it is a small pink wire on the middle right of this harness. which is coverd by a large black panel.it powers relays for the turn signal, just use a reay there and you are good to go. Not one problem with this tap, just make sure you are fused.
