Thanks, what does the "lights on signal" do anyway? Does it activate a
chime
when the headlight is left on when the ignition key is pulled out or is it
something else? I've tried to connect to the new headunit antenna terminal
but it just pull too much current for the antenna motor to operate. The
next
thing I could think off is the ignition wire terminal from the radio.
