How to install ipod adapter?

[AquinoSteven]

I got a ipod adapter that plugs into the back of the head unit (Bose+onstar) and i used the positive cigarette lighter lead for power and the screw on the stock sub box in the center console for the ground. I later found out that the box is taking power from the truck even when off. Where should i connect the box to get power only when the truck is on?

id probably hook it up the the dark green wire wire harness behind your headunit
Radio 12v orange + radio harness
Radio Ground black - radio harness
Radio Ignition dk. green + radio harness
Radio Illumination brown + radio harness
Factory Amp Turn-on orange + radio harness
Notes: The amplifier is behind the glove box.
Power Antenna N/A
LF Speaker +/- tan - gray +,- radio harness
RF Speaker +/- lt. green - dk. green +,- radio harness
LR Speaker +/- brown - yellow +,- radio harness
RR Speaker +/- dk. blue - lt. blue +,- radio harness

or run a power wire to the fise panel and pull from a fuse that only gets power when the car is on

Just pulled the unit out to get the truck back up and running. Ill wait a week or so until the truck is back to normal. What are those plastic things that make it easier to splice into current leads? I remember seeing it on a truck TV show
