Brown and red wire (I think) to the navigation dvd, all MOST bus devices has permanent power.

Here's a shot I took



There is a red/green and a white/red going to the NAV unit. Any idea if either one is a constant power wire?

"3. To power the gateway, tap into the head unit's power. Use a quick-splice wire connector. The red wire should be attached to the red/green wire. The black wire should be attached to the brown wire (ground). This will correctly provide unswitched power (i.e. on when the ignition is off) to the gateway. "

I got a voltage meter and confirmed that the red/green wire is constant power. Thanks everyone for their help
