ReedH Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 I need to know if there is a way to just power up and down an N1 head unit to make sure that the screen goes in and out without having to wire the whole thing into the car radio wiring harness. Anyone have any suggestions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bloodninja Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Connect the positive and grounds? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ReedH Posted July 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 To what? Are you saying just pull out the harness behind my radio and tap into the red and black wires? If so, that's what i'm trying not to have to do. Can I connect it to an old cell charger that is 12v with the red and ground wires? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ReedH Posted August 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 If I connect only the positive and ground wire do I have to hook up the brain also. I only want to make sure the new flex cable works. Thanks in advance for any help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wiring just the positive and negative wires wouldn't take too long (just use some of these twisty things) http://www.wiringproducts.com/contents/ ... tlined.jpg. That way, it's easily reversible just for testing. Other than that, I'm not sure. Sorry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy303 Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 You can hook up just the battery power(yellow), accessory power(red) and ground(black) wires to check your unit. You WILL have to have the brain plugged in, also. The unit will NOT power up without it... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
