I believe that would be the remote wire.. Constant power keeps you clock info and stations programmed... Remote wire.. most of time Blue one// is to kill power when ignition is off.

no, the blue remote wire is for running an amp. it tells the amp when to turn on/off. again i don't know about cabbys since i just ran constant power to mine, but in any other head unit i've installed there's always been a constant power that is always hot (usually yellow), and a regular power that is only hot when the ignition is on (usually red).

happened to come across something by chance and they said:

The Brown/Red wire coming off the back of the Ignition Switch is hot while the key is inserted. Makes a nice radio/amp turn on lead

and they also said you can splice into the black and yellow wire going to the back of the defroster switch since it's only hot when the ignition is on.

:oops: sorry about the wrong info, but like i said, i didn't know if cabbys were like that, but most (atleast most never cars) have a constant power and a reg power that's only hot when the ignition is on.
