One of the connections is permanent 12v. This goes directly to your battery (make sure you fuse the cable within 18" of the battery, as close as possible ideally)

Another is ground. This goes directly onto the chassis of the car, using as short a cable as possible.

The last cable is switched 12v. This goes to ignition or the amp/remote output of your head unit (personal choice). When there is 12v on this line, the M1-ATX will initiate the startup, and when it's removed, it will initiate the shut-down.

The remote (blue cable) just cut the one behind headunit and join to that after running it under the carpet
