If I switch to a new headunit like the Kenwood 7140,and aftermarket amps and speakers,will I still be able to keep the Retained Accessory Power active?
You can get switched from the pigtail, but to retain RAP you'd need something like this. There are several brands available, and the AV is the most expensive, but I tried two of the other brands in my '01 and neither worked properly. The AV was perfect from day one
power, ground, output to remote lead and a databus 2 wire. I tapped the Databus wire from the purple wire under the drivers's side dash that connects to the OBD II plug.
