Got one of these Heated Rear Window/Aerial Amplifier units off i think Mk3 Escort/Sierra sapphire, and was just wondering if anyone could tell me what connections i need to make to it in order to get it working.

Obviously theres the aerial wire from the head unit onto the threaded part, but what are the other connections i need to make?

Heres the unit










Cheers

 

I would imagine a live and an earth? I know for a fact it has power to it.

Switched live (maybe from the head unit, or maybe just off IGN2) for the amplifier and switched live for the heated screen.
the amplifier earths through the mounting bracket.
not sure which way round the connections are though on that unit with the two different spade connectors, i would guess the bigger of the two being the heater, and the two tails go to the screen element.

 

Thats sort of what i thought Fraser, would have thought they would keep the stereo stuff on the same side, then the heated window stuff on the other.

Seems to make sense, was hoping someone might know for absolute fact before i blow something on my car though

 

The worse that would happen is when turning your stereo on your heated screen came on, then u get good signal when you try to turn the heated screen on!! Haha
