Need help installing Blitzsafe AUX adapter on xc70

Post by mjones0014 »

I am trying to install the Blitzsafe auxiliary adapter into my 2000 XC70 volvo. I have a SC-186 head unit which means it should work. The other day I got the adapter working, however, it seemed to drain my battery; I had to jump start the car. It turns out my battery was fairly old (2006) so I got a new one today. Now I am going to try and re-install the adapter. The adapter plugs into the cd changer port and then also needs +12v to work. I tapped into one of the green cords that has a brown stripe on the back of my radio, which got it working before but also seemed to drain my battery... Anyways the guy at the volvo shop warned me that I need to tap into the wire that doesn't drain when the car turns off so I don't drain the battery. Does anyone have expertise with the SC-186 wiring? Did I tap into the right wire before and my old battery was the problem?

Here's the link to the adapter: www.blitzsafe.com/catalog/volvo/vol-/-aux-dmx-v-1/prod_241.html
Thanks in advance!
