Question:
Good morning. Thanks for recommending the iRV 6500BT as a replacement unit for my travel trailer. The unit was delivered mid-summer, but I have not been able to work on the installation until now due to illness. The unit has been kept inside my home during my recovery. I have wiring question. I located the power and ground wires from the old unit and the volt meter shows 12 volts. The new wiring harness is mostly + and - wires for multiple speakers. There is also a black ground wire , a red accessory wire, a yellow battery power wire, and a blue auto antenna wire. I know that the new black ground wire connects to the original black ground. Does the new red wire connect to the old red power wire or does the yellow connect to the old red power wire? Just want to be sure before I plug in the harness. Thanks very much.

So the main power wire of the # 292-101079 is the yellow and would connect to the old power wire you have found. The accessory circuit would run to a keyed power source to turn the stereo on when the key of the vehicle is turned on. The antenna circuit would get left off if you don't have a power antenna.
