So I'm installing an A2DP Bluetooth module and a wired remote into my 2008 195 sport. I have two small questions. One is I'm thinking of attaching the ACC wire on the BT and the remote to the ACC wire on the radio harness, shouldn't pull too much amperage I don't think. Also I was thinking of just hooking up the remotes illumination wire to the harness signal wire instead of finding the nav light wire, any problems to think of there? Thanks in advance?

Where's the nab wire?

This is a nab:

Just dug in and answered my own question. Have the Remote and the Bluetooth ACC and GND attached to the radio harness and they all work fine so I can only assume they are not pulling too much juice. Also hooked the remotes Illumination lead to the radio ACC wire, so even though it is always lit up when the radio is on, it saved me from having to track down the nav wire. It was a little cramped down there though, and I routed the wires between the rear most bow seats which seemed to be the shortest run possible, and of course all connections were done with heat shrink for max protection.
