Let me check out my old stereo. I had one setup until I got a new deck.

This is what my buddy gave me when I wired in the remote and the rca converter for the left and right outputs. I would take out my deck to see what I used but lets see if this helps you.

So you had me do it. I took out the deck. Well I wired my deck in but I had a whining noise. I took it to a shop. After many hours sitting they said I purchased a faulty PAC OS-1 Bose adapter. Therefore they had to rig up some wiring and fix it because I did not want to chirp out even more money since I had the thing working just a whine because the adapter was not wired right. This leads to that they REWIRED THE REMOTE LINE and bypassed my switch (which I just noticed after taking it all apart to check it out). So I don't know what wire I taped into. Try the wires with a meter or something that lets you know if it is hot and if it is on when the car is on and off when the car is off.

From my PAC OS-1 diagram the RED from the harness is the 12V SWITCH/ACC which I think I used. Maybe the Orange since it is ILLUMINATION

Not really poslish them. My rims do seem rare (the style that is). I did the brakes few weeks ago and when I had the tires off I scrubbed the things front and back. But usually just from a normal wash. I don't particullary like the style but they are expensive if you can't get a deal. I had to replace a cracked one once new they were like $500 + a piece, I got a used for $150 shipped. Go with the radio switch just test it by turning the ignition on and off.
