Need Help Lcd Cubby Install
I just got my 7" raw LCD screen installed into my 03 cubby, NOW I need help with wiring...I heard that many of you tap the stereo harness for power my questions are below:
1. Which color wire do I tap for ACC power? (I have a 2003 Bose 6disc)
2. Where do I ground the other wire OR where do I attach it?
3. How do I run my RCA/VGA wires to the passanger glove box?
Please help as everything is just abt ready to go and wiring is the only thing in my way!
PICS would be appreciated, but anything helps.

For your project, you need a line tester (to test feed and voltage) and an instrument that tests your grounds.
The feed to your LCD should be an ACC switched and fused line. You can tap into any available line. These lines are usually marked "Red." Adding an additional ON/OFF switch between the ACC feed and the LCD may be useful depending upon your application and the available controls on your LCD.
Your ground can be anywhere that grounds the device to the car's chassis. Use a ground tester to be sure. It's probably best to avoid the H/U chassis when grounding other devices to eliminate "noise." It is OK to use the same ground you use for your H/U.
You run your RCA/VGA wires down the center console, through the shift console, and finally to the glove box.

Tap into the red wire of the wiring harness, that's the switched power line
Ground up top, behind the guages, there is a big metal screw there with phillips head.
Run the wires down the dash, around the shifter, along the center and to the glove box
You will need to remove most interior panels to get the proper access.
PM me if you need more info
