Hi guys, new here. I should be getting a 09 ram 1500 st this week and have been doing alot of research on things about it. I have you guys to thank for alot of that info. So i figured this would be a good place to ask.

I was looking at dash kits and wiring harnesses for it and noticed that most the harnesses dont have a 12v ignition wire. Or if they do, its separate from the harness. Why is that? I have seen separate grounds, but never an ignition.

Thanks

The ignition wire is controlled by the Can-Bus system. I do know that the 2014 kit from metra comes with the ignition wire.

So where would I wire it? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Also, is the 2014 harness the same plug?
