This question relates to installation of a Gentex mirror with auto-dim and temperature in my Fit Sport 2009. I have it in and all wires routed, but I don't know which wire is the radio power wire. I need to clip into a wire which is powered only when the ignition is on. Can anyone tell me what color wire to look for and its location on the left side? Honda would not help me with this and Gentex couldn't either.

Not sure if it will answer your question, if it doesn't, just do a search for Gentex.

Wow, that was perfect. Now I realize why I couldn't find the correct wire. I didn't switch the key to position

I'm in the driver's seat.

According to the guys from Scoche, the passenger airbag light is movable (as seen in the photo with the nav option). I just ordered the Alpine IXA-W404 Head Unit with a dash kit from Scosche. Both are shipping right now. My plan is to do a demo video of the install when they both come in.

Here is the dash kit I ordered (2009 Honda Fit). You will notice the moved passenger airbag light, just like the nav kit. Check back soon for the install video!
