Default Radio wires installation

I have gone through numerous threads on this subject but would like to confirm the wiring routing.

I have a 2008 PDS, my lights were installed by the dealer and hooked up to the battery pack. I will be installing an accessory battery for the balance of electronics. For now, I was planning on leaving the lights hooked up to the battery pack since I do not do a lot of night driving.

For the radio, I assume the yellow and black to the accessory battery. With regard to the red wire, do I need to run this through a toggle switch if the radio itself has an on and off button? I assume I will get a small battery drain from the radio if I want to keep the radio "alive" when it is not being utilized. I assume by putting a switch on the the red wire would prevent the radio from being turned on or left on, assuming you turn the switch off. If I am using an accessory battery, can the red wire be hooked through the on and off key switch?

Thanks

Default Re: Radio wires installation

I have a thread going in the EZ GO gas section but haven't gotten any advice yet. I installed a toggle on the red wire so the radio could be shut off but the yellow will keep the memory in the radio. I used a toggle with a light so it will light up to show the radio is on.What I have read on here the electric carts are either running a separate battery or a voltage reducer to run their accessories. Good luck!

I used a lighted rocker switch in place of the "ignition". I do have a constant hot to hold the memory.

I would fuse the red 12v lead and not put a toggle switch. Since the radio has it's own on/off any way it really isn't needed.
