i won't have it up here by tomorrow, but the best thing is like he said earlier.

Use a multimeter to check and see which wire it is. Put the positive end into the socket which you think is the ACC wire, and the negative end to ground. Swich on the cars ignition, and if it reads 0v when the car's off, and about 12v when it's on, then you know. I'm almost positive it's light purple w/ a silver stripe.

I've seen some say blue, some purple...and when I used a meter to the purple w/ silver it was the ACC wire. i've had my set up for about a year now w/ no problems.

I could totally be wrong here, but i'm trying to think really hard which one I used.

I will update this post and put more detail soon, don't worry, i just need some time.
