Default Need Accessory pwr for HU
I recently swapped head units, and the previous installer had yellow lead from hu to orange wire from factory plug, and red from hu to pink from ignition. I want accessory power, so I don't have to turn key to run. I ran a lead from #22 fuse to my red hu lead, and still have to turn to run. Any help would be appreciated.

I ran my red power accessory to fuse #11, and it now turns on with key to accessory. I hope this is ok to do, if not please advise otherwise. Thanks.
