Question radio hot wire

I am going to be installing a roady 2 sat. radio in my 99 eb expedition tomorrow.

I am going to use the hardwire modulation kit and would like to tie it in to the radio power source.does any body know the color of the 12 volt wire powering the radio?

Thanks for all the help.

Thumbs up

I believe the yellow wire is the 12 volt battery/constant and the red wire is 12 volt ignition/switched........good luck!

The yellow and red thing is only true for aftermarket units. For the Ford stock colors:
+12VDC switched (ignition): Black/Pink stripe
+12VDC battery (constant): Light Green/Black stripe
