Default Radio install wiring question,need help
I installed a Alpine head unit and I connected the red wire to to right side cig lighter plug, everything works well.The only thing is that I have to manually turn the radio off and on when I shut off and start the jeep,because the radio is constantly on. Is there another place that I can connect it to to get rid of this problem? I have read on here to connect it to the right side power plug,any suggestions?
Thanks

One side should be switched. The other side will stay on.
